A Portion Of George Washington's Farewell Speech

The unity of government which constitutes you
one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for
it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real
independence, the support of your tranquility at
home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your
prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly
prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different
causes and from different quarters, much pains will
be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your
minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point
in your political fortress against which the batteries
of internal and external enemies will be most
constantly and actively (though often covertly and
insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you
should properly estimate the immense value of your
national Union to your collective and individual
happiness; that you should cherish a cordial,
habitual, and immovable attachment to it;
accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of
the palladium of your political safety and prosperity;
watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety;
discountenancing whatever may suggest even a
suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and
indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every
attempt to alienate any portion of our country from
the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link
together the various parts.

WATCH: Biden Claims His Uncle Was Eaten By Cannibals.
Joe Biden — while speaking to the press in Scranton, Pennsylvania earlier on Wednesday — delved into a strange tangent about his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, possibly having been eaten by cannibals. The 81-year-old Biden described how Finnegan — whom he referred to as “Uncle Bosie” — was a U.S. airman during World War II who crashed near the Melanesian island of New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean.

This story just doesn't pass the smell test. Amirite?

MONTGOMERY COUNTY — A local high school student will miss out on her senior prom after getting suspended over bringing a bag of corn chips to school.

As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, Miami Valley Career Technology Center prohibits bringing this kind of snack to school because a teacher is severely allergic to an ingredient.

That's Impossible! Vegan 'Meat' Not So Good for You After All

There's a "health halo" surrounding manufactured vegan "meat" products even though they provide no "clear benefit" — and might even be bad for your heart health, according to a new study reported on in the Daily Mail.

A religion that calls us The Great Satan and chants for our death, I take seriously. Unlike the following expert.

“The Islamic republic thrives on a state of conflict, not war,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank. “Tehran accomplished the lion’s share of its goals against Israel in the week before it launched missiles. Literally, the world was watching and waiting on Iran, forced to take their threats seriously due to their increasing drone and missile use in the region. This was a status boon and a security boon.”

Constitutional? We know what Constitutional is and you serfs are lucky to count your given blessings.

When it comes to precedents, Democrats sure do love to break them to protect their own.

After impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were delivered to the Senate this week, both impeachment articles were quashed by the Democrat-controlled upper chamber before a trial was even held.

Inside a ‘radical’ 20-person polyamorous relationship where wild sex is always on tap

Think three’s a crowd? Try 20.

Members of a 20-plus-person polyamorous relationship are speaking out about their unconventional lifestyle, saying “the structure of the nuclear family needs to shift.”

The group of lovers, based outside of Boston, consists of couples and individuals including “heteroflexible” men, queer women and nonbinary individuals.

It seems this became normal after the adoption of agriculture. Partly because a man with a large...plot...was irresistable to the ladies but more because the tribes farming were conquering those around them that were not and taking the non-farmer's women.

Biden has always been a lying son of a bitch but add on dementia and it becomes Dr. T's (@ 127) 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' age old riddle. Renewing the eternal question: was this a case of Biden being a pathological liar, or just demented?

I say both. He's told himself so many lies and told so many lies about himself that he actually believes the lies by now and if cognizant would pass a lie detector test as it would show no deception because he believes it.

I watched Decrepit Joe's performance today, live. It was like watching a pendulum slowing, slowing, and finally stopping its swing. He was so out of commission at the end he forgot or didn't have the energy to say his standard closing line, "May God bless America and may God protect our troops!"

He is continually getting more decrepit. For his acceptance speech at the Dem National Convention in August they'll pump him full of the drug cocktail used for his SOTU performance. Other than that they'll keep him in a traveling 2020 Delaware basement-mode of doing day-trips to give speeches to small groups of trained seals like the United Steel Workers today, or meeting with rich Leftist donors at private campaign events.

Joe has not done an overseas trip since going to Tel Aviv in mid-October. And that was an unscheduled trip, only made because of the Hamas attacks on October 7th, 2023. I believe the current period is Joe POTUS's longest period of not leaving the US.

We need God or SMOD to get us out of the clutches of Joe and The Junta ASAP.

April 17, 2024, 4:47 PM MDT / Updated April 17, 2024, 5:37 PM MDT
By Elyse Perlmutter-Gumbiner and Ghael Fobes

PITTSBURGH — President Joe Biden choked up Wednesday talking about the military service of his family members and former President Donald Trump's disparaging remarks about service members.

He paused for a moment and added, “That man doesn’t deserve to have been the commander in chief for my son, my uncle.”

Beau Biden and Ambrose Finnegan both served in the military before Trump took office.

Ford was a serious Hitler fan and anti-semite, but I don't recall him having any actual factories or operations in the Reich?

As for Haiti though? That place I think, is cursed beyond repair. Hundreds of years of Voodoo, Santeria and other assorted blasphemies... hell, I think even the very soil is cursed.

231 I binge-watched all 8 episodes of "Fallout" on Amazon Video. It is based on a long-running videogame, which I never played, so I didn't have any preconceptions about the show. It is a decent Sci-fi adventure, with a minimal amount of Woke bullstuff to detract from the story.
Plenty of gore and violence, with some sex thrown in, so it may not not appeal to some folks here, but I liked it.
Walton Goggins and Kyle MacLachlan act their butts off, and the female lead does a great job too.

284 I wonder how much of this is due to no one buying a full album anymore, and therefore it's possible that musicians are relying on live events for income.

Exactly. Concerts used to be promos for albums, and a ticket to a currently top band cost about as much as one album. Now the released music is mostly a promo for concert tickets. And the new stuff doesn't really sell much either by past standards which is why a new Brucie album or a remaster of a 50 year old record usually goes straight to No. 1 these days

Turns out that a lot of cables being manufactured today are using wire insulation made out of biodegradable corn extracts, etc. None of those nasty oil or rubber products. Guess what; Ukrainian mice find that stuff very tasty, and are chewing the wiring harnesses to pieces.

If Ford had a factory in Germany pre-WWII, the Reich would have taken it over and run it, one way or the other. Most of the German trucks were the Opel "Blitz" trucks. Ford also built Model AA trucks in Russia, which were sadly outdated by 1939. Which is why the 160,000 Studebaker US6 trucks sent to Russia were so much appreciated by Joe Stalin.

337 I have an actual allergy to the Cellulose (cell walls) from most of the Onion family of ...well...onions.

Leeks, Shallots, Green Onion, and etc.

But, the more it's cooked down to a near-liquid state, the less it bothers me.

RAW onion is like biting into a Live, 9v battery. Instant chemical shock reaction. So... I don't.

That said? I can cut and dice onion all day. Sautee it and serve it as well as you please. And never shed a tear.

Garlic doesn't seem to bother me.

And in soups? I'll mince a tablespoon of onion to be SO fine, that the ball of a ballpoint pen is a BOULDER in comparison. But, the soup needs the flavor. MY way, reduces that onion to LIQUID (total breakdown of the cellulose walls) in about six hours of simmering.

I don't wanna hear about that teacher's "allergies".

She's allergic to corn? The parents need to claim being allergic to STUPID, thus forcing her to leave their kid's classroom.

375 How to Have Fun with the Protestors Who Glue Themslves to the Road:

Get a friend (or two) who have amputated arms. Give them suitable (and convincing) prosthetic replacements.

Have them infiltrate the protest, and glue themselves (via their fake arms) down.

Have a crazy, yelling person with an axe or chainsaw rush in and 'chop' off the fake arms. Hint: Lots of fake blood spurting out really sells it. Watch as the remaining protestors freak out and try to escape (you WANT them to leave.)

422 Today, I turned by hand to auto upholstery. (Is there such a thing as "downholstery"?) The car I'm currently playing with is a '51 Studebaker 2-door sedan, and as such has a front seat with a hinged back, for entry to the rear area. It also had seat springs and frames, and zero upholstery at all. Years out in the Arizona sun will do that. So, a few years back, I brought down seats from a '52 4-door that I had parted out. Seat covering fabric is torn and rotten, but the mostly cotton padding is intact and usable. Of course, the front seat had a fixed one-piece backrest. Today, I stripped the padding and cover off the front seat backrest. There was a layer of burlap between the padding and springs, still quite sound, surprisingly. I cut the burlap in half, and hog-ringed it to the two individual backrest springs, and then began doing the same with the padding and cover. May reinforce with scrap towels or whatever. Once that is done, new covers made of Mexican blankets will get glued and hog-ringed in place. Glue to keep it from slipping around, and hog rings to retain the edges. No sewing involved. I did this with the seats for my '60 Lark, and it is holding up well.

433 Alcohol is not advisable with many drugs as they are metabolized by the liver by the same enzyme systems as alcohol. Mostly nitrogen-containing drugs (which is most of them). So Tylenol (acetaminophen, paracetamol), Ibuprofen, opioids, diazepam (Valium, Librium, etc.), and Barbiturates are all no-nos.
Combining these drugs with ethanol destroys the liver. People abusing prescription opioids often die this way since the pills are combos with oxycodone and acetaminophen. So the authorities will say "opioid death" but it was the other drug added to prevent overdosing for pleasure.
"We don't want you to have a lot of pleasure by taking several pills at once so we are going to poison them such that if you do take too many then you DIE of liver failure." -- A very Puritanical approach I think.

As a bit of a math nerd the power to opposing wheels has always been a curiosity. Mostly due to available technology when developed. I've not studied it but it is on my list to see how they solved that puzzle.

447 When Naomi Wolf started surprising everyone here with anti COVID vax statements (and I think some pro 2nd Amendment positions influenced by her 2nd husband) I stated we should be cautious because her long previous history of scholarship was so terrible, e.g. an entire book of hers had to be destroyed because she didn't understand basic British law terminology.

Now she's "Naomi Wolf: New Testament Scholar (TM)"!!!

For the record, I told you she was unreliable. Just because she recently made some statements that we agree with doesn't mean she's one of us. If anything, having her as an "ally" makes it easier for our opponents to dismiss us.

Biden, for the third time in less than 24 hours, tells the dubious story about his "Uncle Bosey" and "a lot of cannibals" in New Guinea before repeating the debunked "suckers and losers" hoax.

I assume she got a cochlear implant (maybe two by the way she shows both ears), but wouldn't the best friend know that?

You can't really hide the bandages and enormous cups you have to wear for weeks after receiving the surgery. Not to mention that she seems to have had surgery on both ears at once, which I doubt happens.

I'm... skeptical. Maybe she just needed the lesser amplification of hearing aids after a lifetime of struggling. Wait, that doesn't make sense, either.

I think it's fake for monetization, but I'll go with the premise of the video that she's deaf and got two cochlear implants without her best friend knowing. Which is even crazier now that I write it out because there are so many things that have to be medically cleared before the surgery that I can't believe a young woman wouldn't share that with her best friend, especially once it was approved.

If she heard as a child but became deaf after she had heard sounds and language in the past then she could almost certainly keep that knowledge, especially with lip reading. But it would still be a very low volume, weird robot-ey and unnatural (to a hearing person) reproduction of the voice. But she might just be happy to have that.

Children who have never heard sound (and I assume adults) are like babies learning sounds and how to talk, and they're often years behind unless the deafness is caught at birth and the infant immediately implanted. Even with speech therapy many/most never lose the stereotypical "lisp" of acquiring speech later and fairly unnaturally.

167 If you remember the Toronto international airport gold heist from literally one year ago, they've identified them all and caught most.

Air Canada employees among suspects identified in gold heist at Pearson airport: police
Police say one former and one current employee of Air Canada are among nine suspects that are facing charges in connection with the gold heist at Pearson International Airport last year.

At a news conference Wednesday on the one-year anniversary of the heist, police confirmed that five suspects were arrested and four others are facing charges in connection with the largest gold theft in Canadian history.

Police said the suspects face a total of 19 charges and Canada-wide warrants have been issued for the arrest of three of the suspects who have not yet been apprehended. All of those arrested in connection with the heist have been released on bail, police confirmed in a news release issued Wednesday.

Quith Sick

LOL: Harvard has tapped an "expert" to help it pick its next president.

The expert? A McKinsey-trained DEI grifter.

(McKinsey is the leftwing woke consulting group that preaches diversity to corporations. Pete Bootyjudge is one of its disgraceful alums.)

Harvard University on Monday tapped an ex-McKinsey consultant who has criticized meritocracy and published controversial research on the benefits of diversity in business to help select the university's next president.
FreeBeacon

Vivian Hunt, who in 2015 co-authored McKinsey's influential paper, "Why diversity matters," has been appointed to lead the Harvard Board of Overseers, the head of which has historically sat on Harvard's presidential search committees along with all 12 members of the Harvard Corporation, the university's top governing body, according to the Harvard Crimson. The overseers can also veto presidential appointments with a majority vote.

The system means that Hunt--who has argued that meritocracy "isn't good enough" and urged companies to adopt explicit diversity targets--will likely play a major role in picking former Harvard president Claudine Gay's successor. Her appointment comes amid plummeting donations and a major drop in applications to the Ivy League school, which has been at the center of a debate about diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in higher education.

Critics of those programs say Hunt's selection is a red flag as Harvard gears up to find a permanent replacement for Gay--a major champion of DEI--who resigned in January amid allegations of plagiarism.

"Vivian Hunt leading the search for the next president of Harvard perfectly encapsulates the rot in higher education and corporate America," said Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers' Research, a nonprofit that has led a campaign against ESG initiatives, including diversity programs, in the business world. "If Harvard was serious about rebuilding their floundering reputation, Hunt would be the last person chosen to lead this search."

She wrote a paper, which McKinsey used to preach the economic benefits of woke diversity hiring to corporations, which claimed (as they always claim) that adopting leftwing political aims would lead to bigger profits.

The conclusions in this paper are "non-replicable." Other researchers could not replicate her results. That's a nice way of saying that her results were fraudulent, with the evidence tweaked and mutilated to support the conclusion she wanted.

And now she'll be bringing that kind of academic integrity to Harvard's presidential search.

Hunt has been a driving force behind the proliferation of DEI initiatives. Her 2015 paper has been cited by countless companies and institutions, including the Pentagon, to justify their diversity programs, even as more recent research has challenged her findings.

A study in Econ Journal Watch this March found that diversity has no effect on company returns and that Hunt's results don't replicate. The findings were a major rebuke of Hunt, now the CEO of Optum Health, who has spent nearly a decade making the business case for diversity--and against meritocracy.

I love it -- the meritless all oppose the meritocracy. What are the odds?!?!

Biden's dying demented brain confabulated another bit of Biden Crime Family Lore, this time claiming an uncle died in WWII due to being eaten by "cannibals."

His plane was lost at sea. Few cannibals in the sea, although some shipwrecked men might go that way eventually.

President Biden twice implied Wednesday that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea after his plane crashed during World War II -- even though military records show that the aircraft plunged into the Pacific.

"He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time," Biden initially told reporters after visiting a war memorial that bears his uncle's name in Scranton, Pa.

"They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane."

After arriving in Pittsburgh for a speech on steel tariffs, the 81-year-old president told the same story.

"He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be -- there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea," Biden told United Steelworkers union members.

The Pentagon's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency says that Finnegan's plane actually was lost over the open ocean on May 14, 1944.

"For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft's nose hit the water hard," the military's account says.

Every single time this blowhard opens his lying mouth and vomits up some new anti-Blarney, I curse my Irish heritage.

Only 34% of the public thinks Trump acted illegally in the "hush money" political prosecution, and only 31% expect him to receive a fair trial.

That doesn't sound like the public will be swayed by a (short-lived) "guilty" verdict.

George Soros bailed the pro-terrorist bridge-barricaders out of jail.

Scores of "Free Palestine" protesters across the United States took to the streets Monday to block major airports, highways, and bridges. Those who are arrested will receive bail money and legal support from a left-wing dark money behemoth funded by George Soros, an online fundraising page shows.


The protests, which took place in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, were organized by A15 Action, a newly formed group that worked to "coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine." The group's website directs users to a "bail and legal defense fund" hosted through ActBlue, the Democratic Party's online fundraising juggernaut.

Those who donate to the fund, the ActBlue page says, are sending money to the Community Justice Exchange, which provides "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services to "community-based organizations ... that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems." The exchange is a project of the Tides Center, a left-wing dark money network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires.

The protesters, who organized the global event under the title A15, targeted economic "choke points" with the express purpose of causing as much financial disruption as possible, according to their website.

Ahead of the protests, A15 said it identified "major choke points in the economy" that it would "blockade" to "cause pain." The group listed more than 50 participating cities, including Chicago, where dozens of protesters shut down access to the O'Hare International Airport for nearly an hour, forcing some travelers to walk with their luggage to the airport.

...

Police across the country made dozens of arrests in connection with the protests, with defendants set to receive support from Community Justice Exchange.

"On April 15th, people from over 30 cities around the world will take action to demand a free Palestine," A15's fundraising page reads. "Donate here to support community members who are criminalized in the U.S. for their solidarity with Palestine."

"Should the actions of the state result in the need for it, these funds will be used for bail, legal defense, and support for defendants."

The Tides Center houses a variety of left-wing groups, including the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. It funnels millions of dollars from wealthy donors to those groups.

The center acts as a "fiscal sponsor" to a number of liberal nonprofits, allowing the groups under its umbrella to avoid registering with the IRS. Some of those groups are known for their anti-Israel activism.

The Tides Center, for example, fiscally sponsors the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which last year organized a "direct action" protest that attempted to block a U.S. military ship bound for Israel from leaving a port in Washington. It also sponsors the Adalah Justice Project, one of America's most vocal Hamas apologists.

Soros and fellow liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar are among the Tides Center's major donors.

Attempting to "cause pain" to a nation through blockading its bridges, roads, ports, and airports? And all of this coordinated and financially backed by communist revolutionaries...?

I dunno, sounds kind of Insurrectioney to me.


Boeing whistleblower: the entire 787 fleet should be grounded as too dangerous to fly.

Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour said in a Tuesday interview that he thinks all 787 jets should be grounded to allow for proper safety checks of the plane, which has come under fire in recent months following a slew of incidents.


The new interview -- which will air in full Tuesday on "NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt" -- comes one day before Salehpour's scheduled testimony before Congress about the safety concerns at Boeing that he laid out in a complaint filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) earlier this year.

"The entire fleet worldwide, as far as I'm concerned right now, needs attention," Salehpour said in a preview of the interview NBC News released Tuesday, when asked about the 787 plane model specifically.

"And the attention is, you need to check your gaps and make sure that you don't have potential for premature failure," he added.

In a letter addressed to FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker in January, attorneys for Salehpour said the Boeing engineer "repeatedly reported to Boeing management serious concerns about Boeing's current production and quality control processes, which he believes are creating potentially catastrophic safety risks."

The letter outlined problems with the production of the company's 787 and 777 jets, saying specifically that sections of the fuselage of the 787 Dreamliner are improperly fastened together and could break after thousands of trips. Salehpour told the agency these issues were the result of changes to the fitting and fastening of sections in the assembly line and alleged that the concerns were brushed off.

"I have come forward, and I have extended my neck," Salehpour said in the interview. "But you know, I'm at peace with myself. Because this is going to save a lot of people's lives."

New York resident Hillary Clinton also failed to disclose in contributions in 2016 -- specifically, she claimed her payment for the fake Steele Dossier was for "legal service" and was fined by the Federal Elections Committee for that lie -- but New York State declined to prosecute her for it.

In his Monday analysis, [Greg] Jarrett shredded Bragg and other Democratic officials involved in the case for prosecuting Trump even though he says 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton essentially did the same thing during her unsuccessful campaign, though she, of course, was never prosecuted.

"Hillary Clinton did pretty much the same thing," Jarrett said. "She, too, used a lawyer to secretly pay for the phony Steele Dossier and booking it as legal expenses. She was fined by the [Federal Election Commission], but she wasn't prosecuted, and neither was Barack Obama, even though he was fined a whopping $375,000 for hiding donors and keeping illegal contributions."

The Daily Caller added:

Jarrett pointed out similarities between the case and the lack of prosecution towards Clinton, whose campaign financed a since-discredited dossier assembled by Christopher Steele alleging Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

"But, if your last name is Trump, the standard of justice is completely different and turned on its head," Jarrett added.

Hawley blasts Jennifer Granholm for lying to Congress when she claimed she owned no individual stocks (which is an issue, because the STOCK Act forbids it.)

Turns out she did. She sold the stocks a month after her lie, then waited another month to inform Congress she had lied.

She goes into the whole "How dare you!" act when asked about this.

A rescuer rappelled down from the helicopter and strapped the woman to a gurney before taking her to the Centro Medico Hospital in Puerto Rico.

The woman was reportedly suffering from medical complications that "required a higher level of medical care" than what was on board the ship.

I used to work for a newspaper. There were areas we had subscriptions set up as prepaid only. Some libs tried to make a fuss over it, but stopped when I pointed out that it was the carriers who demanded that. They would lose money otherwise as they couldn't collect.

Newspapers would be happy to carry unpaid subs, except that there are advertising rate rules that demanded that we not do so. At least, that was true through the early 2000s.

159 The Hillerbeast was fined by the FEC because she used CAMPAIGN funds to pay the lawyers that laundered the money.

Trump paid using his own funds. Bragg is claiming that, because it may have influenced voters, it was a campaign expenditure, even though it was never booked as such.

When this issue came up originally, Trump claimed that he a) didn't do it, but b) paid off SD to spare his wife's feelings and to protect his marriage. Using his own money.

This is as likely an explanation as the political one, bolstered by his personal money.

Bragg says, "No, I need this to be a campaign violation, so that's what it is." This is how flimsy this case is. It rests on his *assumption* of a crime never prosecuted much less proven, of a *federal* crime over which he has no jurisdiction.

A real judge would have tossed this case in a, pardon the expression, a New York Minute, but this Democrat donor, who ran as a Democrat, which, last I looked makes you a little heavier Democrat than the guy who votes for them, and whose daughter is heavily imbedded within the party machinery said, "Seems legit."

Fascist Leftwing Mayor of Brussels Orders Police to Shut Down Conservative Conference Featuring Nigel Farage, Possible Future UK PM Suella Braverman, and Hungary President Viktor Orban

They're no longer hiding their intentions.

Police in Brussels have stormed a right-wing conference attended by Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman after orders for the event to be shut down.

Local authorities ordered the controversial National Conservatism (NatCon) Conference to be closed to "guarantee public safety".

Ms Braverman, the former home secretary, and Mr Farage, the former Ukip leader, were among the political names advertised to speak at the event on Tuesday alongside right-wing Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban.

Officers arrived after the event began at Claridge's, a venue in central Brussels, to tell organisers it would be shut down. According to a report on social media, police arrived while Mr Farage was addressing the event, giving attendees 15 minutes to leave the venue. However, officers did not appear to force the event to shut down and speeches continued.

Police have now said they will not let anyone else into the venue and people can leave and not re-enter.

The conference has already had to move location twice after mayors within the Brussels region refused the meeting's chosen venues.

Emir Kir, mayor of the area where the conference was held, said: "I issued an order from the mayor to ban the National Conservatism Conference event to guarantee public safety.

"In Etterbeek, Brussels City and Saint-Josse, the far right is not welcome."

Conference organisers said they were launching a legal challenge to Mr Kir's order, adding: "There is no public disturbance and no grounds to shut down a gathering of politicians, intellectuals, journalists, students, civic leaders, and concerned citizens.

"The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?"


In a video on social media, Mr Farage said the Brussels authorities were behaving "like the old Soviet Union".

Politico attempts to pretend that the "mayhem" here is due to right-wing people having a lawful and peaceful conference, rather than the Red-Black fascist who gave the order to shut down speech.

Farage and Orbán's Brussels jamboree descends into mayhem amid police siege

"Tinpot dictatorship," a National Conservatism Conference organizer fumed at local mayors.

BRUSSELS -- A gathering of Europe's hard-right elite in Brussels descended into chaos on Tuesday as police moved to shut down the conference, barricading the venue's entrance and causing widespread outrage.

The National Conservatism Conference had been set to welcome Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán and U.K. politician Nigel Farage over the next two days, but law enforcement arrived two hours into the event at the Claridge venue, near the European Quarter, to inform organizers that the shindig would be terminated.

"The authorities decided to shut the event due to possibility of public disorder," a police officer heard by POLITICO told one of the organizers. The shutters had already come down on the venue where Brexit architect Farage was due to give a keynote speech at 11 a.m.

When he got on stage, as drama continue to unfold outside the venue, Farage lambasted the Brussels authorities as "simply monstrous" for attempting to cancel the event. "I knew I wouldn't be welcome back in Brussels," the former MEP chafed.

The Brexit champion wasn't alone in his stinging critiques of the city's bureaucracy.

"It's really something out of a tinpot dictatorship," Frank Füredi, one of the organizers from right-wing think tank MCC, which is co-sponsoring the event, told POLITICO. "They're trying to use a technical reason to make a political point. They told the owner that if it doesn't get shut down they're gonna cut the electricity."

At least Belgium's PM condemned the mayor's illegal thuggery:

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, a Flemish liberal, also said: "What happened at the Claridge today is unacceptable. Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop."

The thug mayor who shut this down is Emir Kir, a son of Turkish immigrants.

We're importing illiberal thuggish fascists and blasphemy-police into formerly free societies. And the left, meanwhile, encourages those anti-western, anti-liberal, anti-freedom impulses because they are anti-western revolutionaries themselves.

We cannot continue importing the left's Street Muscle into the country.

Update: A Belgian court has overruled this fascist mayor, and the conference is now continuing.

Organisers National Conservatism mounted an emergency legal challenge against the order to shut down its event at their third venue, which was selected after two previous sites cancelled their booking following left-wing pressure.

The legal challenge was backed by legal advocacy firm, ADF International, and in a late-night ruling, the Conseil d'État, the highest court in Belgium relating to issues of public administration, announced that the conference, scheduled for April 16th-17th, was free to meet today for its second day without interference from state authorities.

In the decision, the court decided that the Belgian Constitution "grants everyone the right to assemble peacefully," and although the mayor has the authority to make police ordinances in case of "serious disturbance of the public peace or other unforeseen events," in this case there was no sufficient threat of violence to justify this.

The court argued that "it does not seem possible to infer from the contested decision that a peace-disrupting effect is attributed to the congress itself". Rather, as the decision notes, "the threat to public order seems to be derived purely from the reactions that its organisation might provoke among opponents".

Yes, that's how the left forces theaters to cancel right-leaning comedians' shows: The threaten violence themselves, then press for the venue to cancel the show to "protect the community."

Protect the community, from their violence.

We cannot go on much longer like this.

Related: Last week, Biden operatives were asked to lie by their allies in the media and claim they are NOT seeking the votes of the radical Muslim terror supporters who chanted "Death to America" in Michiganistan last week.

The Biden campaign said it does not want the votes of those caught on video chanting "Death to America" during a recent anti-Israel rally in the 2024 battleground state of Michigan.

A Dearborn crowd was led in chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" by Michigan-based activist Tarek Bazzi during last Friday's International Al-Quds Day rally.

When asked if the president was still courting those agitators, who typically lean Democrat, Biden campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak replied, "No."

"No" spelled "Y - E - S." The more Biden falls behind in the swing states -- partly due to Muslims withholding their support -- the more support he offers to Iran and its terrorist armies of Hamas and Hezballah.

This goes far beyond "cancel culture."

This is the mayor of Brussels, the seat of the European Union's government, preventing conservatives from their Constitutionally protected right to free speech.

The leaders of the Western world have lost their minds.

As I was paying the shopkeeper told me "You don't belong here. Get out of this neighborhood while you can.".

Sorry; I was paraphrasing Robert Heinlein's similar ...

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”

160 re 123 -

Schumer's maneuvers today are merely a symptom of a disease that's afflicted Congress since 1789. A disease that has gotten worse every year since: No accountability.

Yeah, yeah, in theory the voters hold Representatives and Senators accountable for their actions and inactions. How's that been working out?

Each House is Constitutionally empowered to make its own rules. Period. If Majority Leader Schumer uses Senate rules to not try Mayorkas, waddaya gonna do about it? What's Speaker Johnson gonna do about it? You want insider trading by Reps and Senators prohibited? Good luck getting a rule made for that in either House. Let alone a law. Congress imposed FOIA on the Executive Branch. But Congress has never imposed any equivalent of FOIA on itself. It is not legally required to make anything it does or writes public. Congress gave itself broad Executive Branch oversight powers, and that was upheld by Article III Courts. Congress holds the purse strings for the Exec Branch...and for itself. Checks and balances on Congress? C'mon, man! In practice there's no such thing!

It's a wonderful and lifelong job if you can get it.

Schumer Vows to Block Constitutionally-Required Impeachment Trial of Open Borders Czar Mayorkas

We had to burn the Constitution in order to save it.

Members of the United States Senate signed the "oath book" to assume the role of jurors on Wednesday afternoon, set to begin the impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. After the formal process of convening a court of impeachment, however, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) addressed the upper chamber and confirmed he would attempt to prevent the trial from taking place.

The norm-breaking, duty-abdicating move by Schumer and Senate Democrats upsets 227 years of congressional history.

In his remarks from the Senate floor, Schumer said he would make two motions, one to dismiss each of the two articles of impeachment passed by the House earlier this year: the first article deals with the DHS secretary's "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and the second article addresses Mayorkas' "breach of public trust."

The majority leader said seven points of order would be allowed on the motion to dismiss the first article but only one point of order would be allowed on the motion to dismiss the second article. Both motions would have 60 minutes of debate, Schumer outlined. Schumer said he would then move to adjourn the court of impeachment with just four minutes of debate on that question.

Schumer then raised a point of order to claim that the first article of impeachment against Mayorkas does not allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor and is therefore "unconstitutional," an ironic attempt to claim adherence to the Constitution in order to abdicate the Senate's constitutional duty.

Meanwhile, Sanctuary City Denver is cutting funding for the police in order to provide welfare to the illegal aliens they've invited to illegally squat in the city.


* The sanctuary city's progressive Mayor Mike Johnston unveiled a budget proposal on Wednesday, allocating $89.9m to assist undocumented migrants
As a result of this reallocation, the police and fire department are some of the those expected to face budget cuts

* The amount will be drawn from approximately $45 million that's used for public programs and services

* The city of Denver has announced plans to defund the police to pay for the migrant crisis as the democrat city strips cops' budget of $8.4 million.

The sanctuary city's progressive Mayor Mike Johnston unveiled a budget proposal on Wednesday, allocating $89.9 million to assist incoming undocumented migrants, whom he refers to as 'newcomers.'

The amount will be drawn from approximately $45 million that's used for public programs and services.

As a result of this reallocation, the police and fire department are some of those expected to face budget cuts.

Johnston claimed this was the best option available to provide services to migrants.

But Denver officials are meanwhile telling illegals to go to other blue state sanctuary cities.


In February 2018, Denver city leaders sent a valentine to foreigners interested in relocating to the progressive mountain city and a message to any elected officials looking to stop them.

Draped on Denver's City and County building was a large, blue banner: "Denver [HEART] Immigrants."

If it wasn't clear enough, then-mayor Michael Hancock posted on social media that it was a statement of "love" to let immigrants know that Denver is "an open and welcoming city."

Denver leaders unfurled that welcome banner six months after they passed an ordinance curtailing the city's ability to cooperate with federal immigration agents during a Trump-era crackdown on illegal immigration. Hancock also issued an executive order at the time directing city agencies to aid illegal immigrants in Denver and setting up a legal defense fund for them.

But six years later, amid a crisis that has seen more than 40,000 migrants arrive in the city since late 2022, Denver leaders appear to have a new message for some of their so-called "newcomers": If you stay in Denver, you will suffer.

"The opportunities are over," an official with new mayor Mike Johnston's office told a gathering of migrants in Spanish inside a city shelter in late March, according to a video obtained by a local television station. "New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more."

Denver has run out of resources, he told them, offering bus fare to somewhere, anywhere else.

"If you stay here," he added, "you are going to suffer even more, and I don't want to see this."

While the immigration crisis has hit Chicago and New York City hard, in large part due to Texas governor Greg Abbott's program of busing migrants to deep-blue sanctuary cities, it has absolutely hammered Denver, which is only a fraction of their size.

...

To address a migrant-driven financial crunch, the city is now cutting hours at local rec centers, slashing park programming, and freezing hiring in some departments. To save a little money, the city has decided against planting flowers in some of its parks and medians this spring.

I saw this, and doubtless Denver really *is* trying to square the circle of remaining a "sanctuary" while reducing the burden of aliens.

But none of this talk matters because actions are louder. And the actions are clear: they'll drain other budgets to find funds to make sure that "the opportunities" are definitely *not* "over."

Who are they going to believe? Some chatterbox, or the friendly alien activist who tells them that it's all okay because they're cutting other budgets to continue providing them with services, and shows them the Spanish-language version of the announcement?

94 >>Yeah I know… but I honestly am out of ideas and am generally pissed off.

If it makes you feel any better this was always going to end with Mayorkas not being convicted. No Republicans voted to drop the charges, it was a straight party line vote and Democrats have the majority. Coke head Murkowski voted present on the first article because she's a piece of shit but Democrats voted against both articles and no Republicans joined them.

I have no use for most in Congress but this Democrats decided to take a quick over Mayorkas rather than endure a trial and then voting to acquit him. For once this is all on Democrats.

Lie. Abbott hasn't actually moved all that many aliens. They move outside the NGO structure and so aren't well-handled at the destination, but the total *he* has moved as compared to the NGOs is fairly small.

The way this is written seems to imply that Abbott is hammering Denver and if not for him, this wouldn't be a problem. That is absurd.

They were never going to vote to remove Mayorkas. It's not just him or Biden they are defending, they are defending the entire Democrat party because open borders is the position of the entire party. Some are more open about but they all support it.

The only decision they made today was do they end the trial now and take the heat for that or do they go through the trial, allow the evidence to be presented against Mayorkas and basically themselves. They decided this was the lesser evil. We'll see if they were correct.

Yeah, yeah, in theory the voters hold Representatives and Senators accountable for their actions and inactions. How's that been working out?

Each House is Constitutionally empowered to make its own rules. Period. If Majority Leader Schumer doesn't try Mayorkas, waddaya gonna do about it? You want insider trading by Reps and Senators prohibited? Good luck getting a rule made for that changed in either House. Let alone a law. Congress imposed FOIA on the Executive Branch. But Congress has never legally required itself to make anything it does or writes public. Congress gave itself broad Executive Branch oversight powers, and that was upheld by Article III Courts. Congress holds the purse strings for the Exec Branch...and for itself. Checks and balances on Congress? C'mon, man! There's no such thing!

The House Intelligence Subcommittee Added an Amendment to the FISA Reauthorization Bill Drafting All Citizens Into the Business of Spying on Other Americans

It's being called the "Everybody's a Spy" act.

If you own a small business, and someone hops on to your wifi, the government can demand you become its unpaid spy and turn over all data it demands.


The US House of Representatives agreed to reauthorize a controversial spying law known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act last Friday without any meaningful reforms, dashing hopes that Congress might finally put a stop to intelligence agencies' warrantless surveillance of Americans' emails, text messages and phone calls.

The vote not only reauthorized the act, though; it also vastly expanded the surveillance law enforcement can conduct. In a move that Senator Ron Wyden condemned as "terrifying", the House also doubled down on a surveillance authority that has been used against American protesters, journalists and political donors in a chilling assault on free speech.

Section 702 in its current form allows the government to compel communications giants like Google and Verizon to turn over information. An amendment to the bill approved by the House vastly increases the law's scope. The Turner-Himes amendment -- so named for its champions Representatives Mike Turner and Jim Himes -- would permit federal law enforcement to also force "any other service provider" with access to communications equipment to hand over data. That means anyone with access to a wifi router, server or even phone -- anyone from a landlord to a laundromat -- could be required to help the government spy.

The Senate is expected to vote on the House bill as soon as this week, and if it passes there, Joe Biden is likely to sign it. All Americans should be terrified by that prospect.

...

While the Turner-Himes amendment lists some business types that are excepted from the requirement to help spy -- like dwellings and restaurants -- an almost limitless number of entities that provide wifi or just have access to Americans' devices could be roped into the government's surveillance operations. Using the wifi in your dentist office, hiring a cleaner who has access to your laptop, or even storing communications equipment in an office you rent could all expose you to increased risk of surveillance.


Bob Goodlatte and Mark Udall urge the Senate to block passage of the Everybody's a Spy Act:


As RISAA comes to the Senate, attention is now being cast on another amendment -- one from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) that many have come to call the "Everyone's a Spy" provision. This measure was portrayed as a "narrow" definitional change to the law concerning electronic communications service providers -- big telecom and Internet companies -- which obligated them to cooperate with NSA surveillance. These big companies can be compelled to spy for the government, and then be subject to gag orders, forbidding them from telling customers they have been surveilled.


...

The HPSCI amendment achieves this by including any service provider who has access to equipment that transmits communications. After critics complained that digital loungers in hotel lobbies and coffeehouses would have their data hoovered up by the government, the authors of this amendment provided carve-outs for hotels, restaurants, dwellings, and community centers. This was a good PR move. But this measure still applies to most everyone -- owners and operators of any facilities (other than the exempted categories) that house equipment used to store or carry data.

If this became law, millions of American small business owners would have a legal obligation to hand over data that runs through their equipment. These small businesses could be forced to give the NSA direct access to their equipment, or else they might just copy messages en masse and turn them over. And when they're done with doing their part in mass surveillance, these small businesses would then be placed under a gag order to hide their activities from their customers.


Senators, including Rand Paul (of course), are vowing they'll block a vote on this sell-out.


Senators in both parties are warning the expanded surveillance authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) could lapse after Friday because of a battle over amending the House bill, which has become a target of conservative Republicans and some Democrats.

Opponents of the bill could drag the Senate debate past the 11:59 p.m. Friday deadline, which threatens to cause a lapse in warrantless surveillance authority that some lawmakers warn could leave the nation exposed to an attack at a dangerous time.

"It would be a very big problem. FISA's incredibly important to alerting us of terrorist plots, for example. And I believe the threat of a terrorist attack is much higher than is being discussed," warned Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

...

[I]t would take more than a week to process the bill on the Senate floor, and opponents of the legislation are threatening to push the debate past the Friday deadline unless they get time to debate and vote on changes to the bill.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an outspoken critic of the FISA program, said he's willing to let it lapse over the weekend if he doesn't get changes to the bill considered on the Senate floor.

"We need to debate -- we've had five years [to reauthorize the program] -- I would think we've got time to debate whether or not it's appropriate for our government to spy on its own citizens without a warrant," he said.

Paul said he would agree to speed up the process depending on "how much debate the Democrats are willing to allow."

But he said he would have no problem with letting the program lapse, arguing that the country and its intelligence agencies functioned well enough before Congress passed FISA in 1978.

Fact.

There's speculation that he's doing this to appease the RINO's to prevent them from leaving and giving Dems the majority. He's just a big enough pussy to let them do that.

There's also the relationship with Trump where he says they're 100% in sync on things, missing where Trump said "Let FISA die."

Plus, I think it more likely than not that there are a few more GOP shitstains secretly threatening retirement if Johnson doesn't do X and Y. These cocksuckers have extreme leverage because they hold the GOP majority -- and Johnson's Speakership -- in their hands.

69 Section 702 in its current form allows the government to compel communications giants like Google and Verizon to turn over information. An amendment to the bill approved by the House vastly increases the law's scope. ... force "any other service provider" with access to communications equipment to hand over data. That means anyone with access to a wifi router, server or even phone ... could be required to help the government spy.
++++
I'll bet it's worse than that, and that a private individual or family that has ever allowed anyone else to use the network will be classed as a "service provider." You had a guest and let him use your WiFi? Congratulations, you're a service provider. Hand over the logs.

This will be interesting from an ISP standpoint, too. Consumer internet access usually has explicit prohibition against using it as a service provider (you can't buy a gigabit connection and then sell your WiFi password to your neighbor, for example). If *everyone* is now a "service provider," then that prohibition will become untenable.

Log nothing. Ever. It makes troubleshooting harder, but you can't turn over what you don't have.

If one party opposed the surveillance state, it would not exist, in much the same way that if one party wanted limited government or smaller budgets, government would differ. But neither party wants these things any more than either one wants illegal immigration brought under control.

Nothing new about that. It broke back in the mid-aughts that if a communications entity receives a National Security Letter (what they used to demand data without a warrant), the entity is prohibited from disclosing that they received an NSL.

They even declared that a dead-man's switch - a statement of "We did not receive a National Security Letter today" on the website, for example, that does not get published unless it's true - is also in violation.

97 69 I'll bet it's worse than that, and that a private individual or family that has ever allowed anyone else to use the network will be classed as a "service provider." You had a guest and let him use your WiFi? Congratulations, you're a service provider. Hand over the logs.

This will be interesting from an ISP standpoint, too. Consumer internet access usually has explicit prohibition against using it as a service provider (you can't buy a gigabit connection and then sell your WiFi password to your neighbor, for example). If *everyone* is now a "service provider," then that prohibition will become untenable.

Log nothing. Ever. It makes troubleshooting harder, but you can't turn over what you don't have.

They can't easily scrape access logs from millions of devices and device types. If they want local device logs, they have to get them from the device's owner, and that means they need a warrant or a subpoena, which means they need due process of some kind, even if it's just for show.

This changes that. They can just demand it and then gag you. This is not generally useful, but it will be quite useful when they have a target in mind. John Doe has raised the Party's ire. They know he went to a conference on July 13. They know he stayed at a Best Western. They want his access logs from the hotel to get detailed specifics that the ISP may not have. Today, they have to get a warrant or a subpoena to obtain those. Tomorrow, they can just demand it.

This will do *nothing* for national security, but it sure will give them more capability when it comes to gathering ever more data on whoever they're targeting for any reason, with no due process.

Probably, but that's not entirely relevant. VPNs aren't about security, they're about endpoint obfuscation. Data transmitted in the clear isn't particularly relevat if the origin and destination of the traffic is unknown. That's what VPNs are really for.

Even if someone has the keys - assume that they do - that lets them see what was transmitted, but not by/to whom. To find that out is difficult, because they need to have a reasonably good time frame of what was collected and from where (easy), through which VPN (not as easy, but achievable), and finally to which VPN connectee (very hard if the VPN service does not keep logs, and none of the good ones do).

There are ways around this through browser fingerprinting (identify your browser even if they can't track the connection) and, crucially, because most people are sloppy and will do personally-identifiable things while connected through a VPN. If you do that, the sloppiness and browser fingerprinting will obviate the VPN anyway. Most people aren't careful.

234 Protestors: Please Stop Blocking Traffic. It is a stupid, destructive tactic. For crying out loud, the Palestinians need real help, effective help. Please, no more counterproductive stupidity.

A friend of mine missed her chemo because of the GGBridge shutdown. Her son was stuck in his car for 3.5 hours. I don’t imagine either of them were compelled to advocate for the protesters’ positions.

Unpopular Kos opinion here but…maybe they should advocated for the protesters opinion. People were dying, and certainly missing chemo treatments in Gaza because of the policies of the US to support the horrific, genocidal bombing of people and hospitals while your family/friend….was sitting in traffic. I cannot relate to, and am pretty horrified by, the expectation that people can only protest American policies if it doesn’t inconvenience Americans.

What the fuck do you expect a random cancer patient to do about gaza? They statistically probably DO support Palestinians. But ya know. Cant really take time out of their CANCER TREATMENT to go do...something? Absolutely idiotic and frankly ableist take.

They have or can get most of it.

But not everyone can. The IC is fiercely competitive and territorial, and something like this will help open the floodgates to the NSA's IC competitors. Not everyone has the "we have a copy of everything" capability of the NSA, and they all want it.

The FBI probably can't do it, and DHS probably can't. But if both can suddenly compel cooperation from any source in the country, that's good for both of them and gives them more autonomy.

I suspect the NSA and their affiliates hoover up everything. The various telecoms help. Some sites probably send their logs and content directly to them, being tools of the regime and all.

This site, as simple as it is, likely gets "scraped" for all the text and images. Probably takes 15 seconds to pull literally every letter and picture off the site daily.

So, yea, the NSA pretty much has access to everything but the key is how to parse the data in a meaningful way. (Enter Google with the ability to search the Internet for videos of dancing bats.)

ACLU Fires Asian Lawyer For Using "Racially Harmful" Language to Complain About Black Boss. She Didn't Say Anything Racist; the ACLU Contends That Simply Criticizing a Black Boss Is Inherently "Harmful" Because It Caused "Hurt Feelings" Among Other Blacks

Nice to have it laid out like this.

You are now claiming it's racist to disagree with a black person or to dislike their management style.

No backtracking; you said what you said. "Racism" now means simply "failure to sufficiently praise a privileged minority."


The ACLU has fired an Asian employee, Kate Oh, for what it describes as creating "racial harm" through her critiques of Black supervisors, inciting a complex legal and ethical debate over workplace dynamics and free speech.

Key Details:

The ACLU claims that Kate Oh, a Korean American lawyer, used language in complaints that perpetuated racist stereotypes against her Black supervisors.

Oh's interactions, including describing a discussion as "chastising" and expressing fear of a Black male superior, were used as examples of alleged anti-Black animus.

She complained about him "chastising" -- criticizing -- an Asian woman. That's not racist. When she complained of the criticism, that was racist. Because he's higher on the Oppression Pyramid of Privilege.


The case has escalated to an unfair-labor-practice trial, with the National Labor Relations Board accusing the ACLU of retaliating against Oh for her complaints about workplace conditions.


Kate Oh, a former lawyer at the ACLU, finds herself at the center of a contentious legal battle after being terminated for allegedly using racially coded language in complaints against her Black supervisors. The ACLU argues that Oh's expressions, such as stating she was "afraid" to speak with a Black superior and calling another meeting "chastising," contributed to a pattern of "willful anti-Black animus." These claims have raised substantial questions about the boundaries of acceptable speech in the workplace, especially within an organization renowned for defending free speech.

The complexity of the case is underscored by the ACLU's own defense strategies, which hinge on a broad interpretation of what constitutes racially harmful speech. This stance seems at odds with the ACLU's historical advocacy for expansive free speech rights, sparking criticisms of hypocrisy and overreach.

54 "She is an attorney with two decades of experience in legislative and political affairs, including roles with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Media Matters for America, and GameChanger Labs."

So, as per last thread, she likely had the same problems but was fired in lieu of walking away.

Willowed: Was editor Uri Berliner attached to NPR's D.C. Office?
If so, odds are she was placed into the CEO position to get him out. The 5 day suspension was an embarrassing public slap. Then the ball was in his court & he quit.

Notice is not required by either party based on the fact that DC is an "employment at will" state, meaning that an employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time, without a reason, without cause.

There are only a very few exceptions, maybe such as if he was under contract and/or NPR failed to follow its own employment guidelines.

Ehh, not really. It turns out that commercial aviation isn't particularly profitable. If the airlines aren't defended with special rules (e.g., prior to deregulation) or protected with subsidies if not state-owned (national airlines), competition turns into a race to the bottom on service and goodies. The market has dictated that this is acceptable, because the tickets keep selling.

So adding an extra row or two to the cabin - even if it means no more reclining seats - is well worth it. The money has to be made up somewhere and competition is fierce. If you can't increase the cost of the ticket without being crowded out by the airline that didn't, you find a way to sell more tickets (or provide fewer services, like drinks and complimentary baggage).

I am tall too. When the seat in front of me is NOT reclined, my knees touch it. So, if they recline, they are putting their weight onto them. I had one flight where a euro trash complained to the stewardess that when he kept slamming his seat back into me, he could feel my knees in his back.

I informed him and the stewardess that if he did it again, I would break his nose at a minimum. They moved him to the back of the plane.

I've had many female bosses, and I've only had good experiences. But I'm a guy.

At the risk of painting with too broad a brush, I think women struggle with female bosses because y'all hate each other. Maybe it's because women inherently see other women as competition, and men and women do not have the same dynamic?

Ah, got it. Yeah. It's the race to the bottom. They've already cut most of what they can out of other services, so time to cram in more seats.

Some sociopath in Europe invented a vertical airplane "seat" that's basically a bicycle saddle mounted to a floor-to-ceiling pole. Increases passenger density by some ridiculous amount.

244 I've had nothing but problems with female bosses. Can't say I've had many of them, so maybe I just got unlucky. But they have been almost universally bitchy, catty, incompetent, backstabbing scrunts.

And no it's not me. I've had many female teachers and professors (which is sorta like a boss) and they all liked me, and in some cases I was their favorite.

Wait, I take that back: there was one female boss I had when I was a teenage waiter and bartender way back in the day. She was kinda dumb but hot and apparently liked teenage boys. She sexually harassed the shit out of me. I let her. I was 17. She was hot. It was worth it.

All states, except Montana, are At Will. This is not the same as right to work, which means you have a choice as to whether you join a union or not, and this has other complexities I won’t go into.

If you belong to a union, you are a contract employee. The right to work status means jack taco to you. While most companies, except really dumb ones, will retain the right to hire and fire, you still need to meet just cause standards in order to discipline, to include termination.

Note in an at will employment situation, you can fire for any reason, but you cannot fire for the wrong reasons, discrimination being one of those wrong reasons.

Berliner is a dues-paying member of NPR's newsroom union but says he is not appealing the punishment.

Believe this was also included previously: "There are only a very few exceptions, maybe such as if he was under contract and/or NPR failed to follow its own employment guidelines."

It has been said, identity politics has almost nothing to do with the superficial differences between people, but are indeed a construct created by the powers that be, to keep people divided.

So... everyone who has lined up on one side or another of the divides that have been constructed for us, whether it be race or sex or religion or whatever else, at some point are you going to stop playing their game? Are you going to stop being a pawn on the chess board, moved by others who know what you're going to say and do, before you do?

I agree and my parents tell me the same happened in the 1960s with the Great Society insanity. It pitted the races against each other. All of a sudden, you had all these violent race riots, violent race agitators, and lots of screaming about race in Northern cities where none were before.

I think Barack acted as a catalyst, made it policy. But the building blocks were there to be put together beforehand by someone who wanted to build this monstrosity. A big part, I think, is the ceaseless excusing and apologizing for the antisocial behavior of certain groups. Note, for example, how certain behavior by whites makes them trash, but no comparable group of black trash is acknowledged to exist. The mainstreaming of rap music and its gangster ethos was a watershed. It took a while to metastasize, but it was always cancer. Apologetic comparisons to rock music are like comparisons between the Bible and Koran on violence.

I grew up in a mixed-race community. It was a small town, so there weren't separate black and white neighborhoods, but the churches (except for the Catholic Church) were pretty segregated.

I don’t struggle with seeing how ridiculous the oppression Olympics have gotten, it sadly has negated acts of true discrimination and that just sucks. I do have a problem with tactual racism and discrimination, no matter the direction. Luckily, I don’t think I am the rare bird who harbors these feelings, though there are people doing their damndest to make that not so.

And remember, the defendant must prove their innocence, as opposed to be presumed innocent. A nice little twist in the 90's Civil Rights Act update. What the ACLU is forgetting is that since she was ostensibly complaining about a harassing workplace first, they have the burden of proof in showing her workplace was not harassing, and have proven it by firing her.

Yes there is a hierarchy. But there is also timing, and retaliation. ACLU is wrong on both. They will pay, haven't got a prayer of getting off on this one, unless the left is ready to wipe out 30 years of case law on the books.

NPR Whistleblower Resigns, Stating He Cannot Work For an Organization Whose CEO "Disparages" Him

Disparages?

Or defames?

Might be a promise of a lawsuit to come.

Longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner, who was suspended after blowing the whistle on liberal bias at the organization, announced Wednesday he has resigned.

"I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years. I don't support calls to defund NPR. I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism. But I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cited in my Free Press essay," Berliner wrote in a statement published on X.

Berliner was referring to Katherine Maher, who took over last month as President and CEO and has gone viral for past social media posts showing far-left personal views.

...

His piece angered colleagues, with some telling in-house media reporter David Folkenflik they didn't want to work with him any longer. Berliner was suspended for five days without pay and NPR told him it was a "final warning" and he would be shown the door if he violated NPR's policy about working with outside news organizations going forward. Instead, he walked away on his own terms.

Christopher Rufo and Matt Taibbi and many, many other people are going through Maher's twitter feed, finding one woke bon-bon after another.

Matt Taibbi picks out woke Tweets from Maher posted for various holidays.

whatiwantforchristmas.jpg

xmasisnotwestern.jpg

I like how she refers to Latin America as "latam," like they're on a nickname basis. Like she's referring to Robert DeNiro as "Bobby" to let you know that they're tight.

Some of Maher's greatest hits are collected by Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.

Here's just a smattering:

christopher_rufo_katherine_maher_npr_04-17_2024-2-768x2598.jpg


This was called out by Sharon: NPR's new CEO says that a "reverence for truth" might block you from accomplishing your political objectives.

This is, of course, perfectly in line with NPR's current "journalistic" values.


Charles Murray
@charlesmurray

This is more devastating than the silly tweets. It is a prepared & rehearsed repudiation of the journalist's historic responsibility and contradicts what NPR once claimed to be about.


That's a bit harsh, but I have been thinking about the AWFLs lately, and how so many of our moral panics -- the Temperance movement, for example, and including suddenly spikes in religious intensity -- are driven by women. Of course women also drove positive changes. I think they were prime movers in the abolitionist movement.

But women also attach themselves to flaky causes.

58 Willowed: I guess this would apply to ACE, too.

Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of “electronic communications surveillance provider,” an amendment offered by House intel committee (HPSCI) leaders and passed by the House vastly expands the universe of entities that can be compelled to assist the NSA.

If the bill becomes law, any company or individual that provides ANY service whatsoever may be forced to assist in NSA surveillance, as long as they have access to equipment on which communications are transmitted or stored—such as routers, servers, cell towers, etc. That sweeps in an enormous range of U.S. businesses that provide wifi to their customers and therefore have access to equipment on which communications transit. Barber shops, laundromats, fitness centers, hardware stores, dentist’s offices… the list goes on and on.

96 I am sure Lindsey will rally the troops to support the Fisa bill. It expires on the 19th. Pass it now and we will fix it later....maybe. The NSA promises not to abuse its authority this time.

From ZH: So they would be required to give the NSA access to the equipment itself or to use techniques or devices (presumably provided by the NSA) to copy and turn over entire communications streams and/or repositories of stored communications, which would inevitably include vast quantities of wholly domestic communications.

The NSA, having wholesale access to domestic communications on an unprecedented scale, would then be on the “honor system” to pull out and retain only the communications of approved foreign targets. (Let that sink in.)

HPSCI leaders deny that the administration has any intent to use this provision so broadly. Supposedly, there is a single type of service provider that the government wants to rope in. But they didn’t want anyone to know what that service provider was so they hid the real goal by writing the amendment as broadly and vaguely as possible.

120 Who's the most detestable out of all the players in this thing:

1. CEO idealogue who spends most of her time spouting the pre-approved jargon and highlighting those efforts to gain approval?
2. NPR employees simultaneously showing how truly far left they are, and sucking up to the new boss at the same time?
3. A "respected" employee of NPR who has an epiphany, recognizes his failings, and doesn't have the courage to attempt and correct them by remaining a voice for reason?

I'm going with #2. I absolutely abhor the "suck ups" and when they are willing to sell their souls and freedoms to accomplish that stance, it's even worse.

I think they're mad (in the sense of lunacy) because they are not having babies (or not having enough of them) and raising families. We're in this New Soviet Man phase where everyone thinks they can be whatever they want, regardless of what evolution or God (depending on how you view things) made us. We can't. Not without a great deal of unhappiness anyway. Women have lost all sense of self-worth and purpose as a result.

132 I don't think of NPR as populist, but it is very conservative. Not Fox crazy Stinking Nazi conservative, but much more conservative than MSNBC and TYT. It never had a rigidly progressive mindset.....ever. Berliner just wants to kill it from the inside. It's another GOP wet dream to totally ban and end public radio.

Yeah, I can't count the number of times I've slammed the radio off in anger because of their puke slant. I’ve taken to calling them National rePublican Radio.

NPR is “progressive?” In what universe? It has devolved to “news and stories calculated to reassure well educated, well-funded centrists that everything is ok.”

It's not the media's responsibility to be neutral. It's their responsibility to be objective...RWers don't comprehend the difference.

195 In-group identification is more important to women than men because they are more physically vulnerable than men and cohesive social structures offer them protection. This hardwired, atavistic urge means they will *always*, on average, be more inclined toward statism and movement politics.

Younger women are more likely to be single, and consequently even more likely to feel a need for a group to join.

If you can target these women, you will secure your most loyal adherents, and the easiest ones to fully radicalize.

This isn't to say that men aren't susceptible to this bullshit, of course. But its easier to land the single, young women - and many men will slavishly follow their dicks right into the trap after them.

209 I've always gotten the most flack for this - but it is sadly the truth borne out now with the AWFLS, but with other women's voting rights group throughout history - the worst thing that ever happen to women and America in general was men forcing them into voting and be involved in politics.

Always, politics was a mudslinging man's fight, way too degrading for women to ever get involved in. Their right as women was to be held on a pedestal, not be forced to jump into the mud pit and grapple along with the men. It was always our job to make sure they stayed up on that pedestal, above the common, dirty fray. Sad that we couldn't be gentlemen when that concept was most needed...now women grapple unseemly among each other in the pit and try and brow beat others in the most demeaning and mentally dehumanizing fashion. Sad.

210 "That's a bit harsh, but I have been thinking about the AWFLs lately, and how so many of our moral panics -- the Temperance movement, for example, and including suddenly spikes in religious intensity -- are driven by women."

No, it's not. The single greatest threat to a traditional family, morals, religion, infants, children who survive their abortion gauntlet, constitution, laws and societal mores in general are women such as this. They cloak themselves in some type of superiority above God, as if they were him. They have no boundaries, material, provable facts, indisputable truths, or intellectually derived conclusions. They are cultists bound only to the shibboleths of their group and committed to their destructive ends. Nothing gets in their way and they have no compunction or compassion for anyone else. They are incapable of real emotional ties because living outside their fantasy world in the realm of truth, shatters their entire being to the core. Fuck people like her, it's time to fight back and beat her and her liege like the old filthy rugs they are.

225 I do remember some of the arguments against women's suffrage made by women, and one really struck with me...

If I get the vote and vote the same way as my husband, then...why did giving me the vote matter?

And if I get the vote and vote opposed to my husband I've just made my family no longer count as our votes merely cancelled out.


And I think the core of this is whether you see the core unit here as the family or the individual. In 2024 this argument sounds odd because so many people will never marry and of those that will marry will divorce anyway. But if you assume a permanent commitment between husband and wife it does really change the way you look at women's suffrage.

Boudica's husband left their state to the Romans and his daughters as he had no sons but after his death the Romans claimed it for themselves and treated Boudica and her daughters horribly. Exactly why it transpired this was isn't entirely clear as the sources we have disagree.

There were plenty of nations absorbed this way into the Roman Empire though usually the previous ruler's family was taken care of not attacked.

If taking out a second Speaker in less than a year is what it takes for the Speakership to become the prize of someone wanting to get conservative things done, then so be it.

330 >>In-group identification is more important to women than men because they are more physically vulnerable than men and cohesive social structures offer them protection.

When women felt abandoned in the past by men or family, they coalesced around each other and stronger, older women. It was these, stronger older women who selfishly drove the Temperance and Suffrage movements - having been abandoned before. Their solution was what has resulted in one giant, unseemly catfight for 120 years - one that has degraded the very women they sought to empower. It was a mistake, but one that we men should have, or could have, stepped in and prevented. If, that is, we had wanted to preserve family and our relationships with women - but I think we just smelled the hedonism of it all - we chose poorly.

Really depends on the caste and upbringing. The "lesser" caste Indians who worked their way up or created small businesses tend to be conservative. These are the ones who have seen first-hand what an elite, powerful state (or state-sanctioned caste) can do to those outside the elite.

But the higher caste Indians are part of the elite and will always support and defend the elite no matter what -- just like Party members in the USA always support and defend the Party. These Indians are committed leftists through and through. It's how they continue to wield power over the lower castes.

Illegal Alien Released by Biden Charged in Hit-and-Run Death of Senator's Aid

The Third Worldization of America continues.

An illegal alien released by the Biden administration in 2021 has been arrested in connection with the fatal hit-and-run of Kurt Englehart, a senior adviser to U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV).

Key Details:

Elmer Rueda-Linares, 18, was initially detained at the Texas border in March 2021 and subsequently released into the U.S. in June 2021.

The accident occurred early Saturday morning at Kietzke and Peckham lanes in Reno, resulting in the death of 38-year-old Kurt Englehart.

The incident has sparked further debate over the Biden administration's immigration policies, particularly regarding the release of detained illegal immigrants.

Diving Deeper:

The community and political circles in Nevada are mourning the loss of Kurt Englehart, a dedicated public servant and senior adviser to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, who died tragically in a hit-and-run incident this past weekend in Reno. The suspect, Elmer Rueda-Linares, is an 18-year-old who entered the U.S. illegally and was released by federal authorities last year. This case has intensified scrutiny of the Biden administration's immigration enforcement policies, which critics argue may contribute to such heartbreaking incidents.

Meanwhile, Mayorkas claims the border "is as secure as it can be." That's a lie, obviously. He means the border is secure as The Regime is willing to make it.

n a recent exchange with Rep. August Pfluger, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserted that the U.S. southern border is "as secure as it can be," despite evidence of over 1.8 million illegal immigrants evading capture and concerns over national security threats.

Key Details:

During a heated discussion, Secretary Mayorkas told Congressman Pfluger that the border security is at its optimal state, sparking widespread criticism.

Reports indicate that since Mayorkas took office, there have been over 1.8 million instances of illegal immigrants successfully evading law enforcement at the southern border.

Critics point to instances where individuals on the terrorist watchlist were reportedly released into U.S. communities, questioning the DHS's handling of security.

The impeachment articles for Mayorkas have been delivered to the Senate.

The impeachment revolves around Mayorkas's alleged "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law," said to exacerbate illegal immigration, and his supposed obstruction of congressional oversight.

You might think that the run-down of a senator's aid might make Democrats take this seriously. But they won't. They're a Cult of Death.

15 Meanwhile, Mayorkas claims the border "is as secure as it can be."

Nice obfuscation there, you pos. Does that mean it's as secure as it's possible to make it (= not obscure), or that it's as secure as we're willing to make it? The answer dismisses the possibility that the border can be effectively completely secure, which it was under Trump, but never mind.

Yes, but more importantly, they're insulated. They're fine. It doesn't have any effect on them.

The Congress - both houses - are more than willing to go hard. Jan 6 showed us that. The moment that they themselves felt even remotely threatened, they went full tyrant. But they themselves do not feel even remotely threatened by illegal aliens, nor by the likes of Code Pink. They know that everyone involved knows the rules.

Yes indeed. That was the most illuminating thing to be about the first Trump administration. It wasn't that so many Washington insiders were whores, it's that they were such cheap whores. This really stood out to be with John Bolton. That dude's going rate was around $10k - the political equivalent of a ham sandwich.

When I learned that *I* - just a W2 slob with a decent job - could afford to buy John Bolton, I lost all respect for him. If you're going to be a traitor-for-hire, at least be expensive. I don't think that's too much to ask.

China is funding the U.S. fentanyl crisis, House panel says in new report | NBC News

The report was released ahead of a hearing Tuesday detailing what the panel argues is China’s complicity in fueling the fentanyl crisis in the U.S.

The Chinese Communist Party uses tax rebates to subsidize the manufacturing and export of fentanyl materials, a House panel said in a report released Tuesday.

The House Select Committee on China pointed to findings indicating that China plays a key role in the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., and lawmakers made several recommendations to curb the crisis.

“Through subsidies, grants, and other incentives, the PRC harms Americans while enriching PRC companies,” the report says, referring to the People’s Republic of China.

The report was released just ahead of a scheduled hearing Tuesday at which Chairman Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and ranking member Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., are expected to detail what they argue is China's complicity in fueling the fentanyl crisis in the U.S.

The committee said in its report it has "found no evidence of new criminal enforcement actions" to curb the flow of fentanyl chemicals into the U.S.

"This failure — when combined with new evidence establishing the PRC incentivizing the export of illegal drugs abroad and ownership stake in companies doing the same — casts doubt on the veracity of the PRC’s claims that it will act to stem the massive export of illicit fentanyl materials and other dangerous synthetic narcotics, and reinforces the need for global cooperation and communication between law enforcement agencies," the report says.

208 Joe Mannix -- "Consultants" was a very enjoyable read. Another way the "corporate consultant" scam was used, at least in the tech industry, was as a vehicle to mass replace domestic workers with foreign H1B workers, usually Indian. I stupidly took a "management" job with Merrill as a "tech liaison" with Tata Consulting in Mumbai where my primary job turned out to be giving fake Java interviews over the phone from New York to replacement workers. I was basically interviewing same "Hello my name is John" guy over and over again. The workers would come over and be housed in motels in Fort Lee NJ, and make a third the salary of the workers they replaced. Yeah I should have known better to take a job with that job description, but the money offered was good.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison,


Haven't seen it yet, but the game was standard 80's leftist programming with "corporations are teh ebil". That's not an addition to the theme. The thing in the TV show seems to be the cumulation of neo-marxist idiocy in that they felt the need to make the villainy multi-culty, which undercuts the whole theme. 2nd, They make the panicky corporate nature of the retro-future seem justified because it was multi-culty. They are subverting their own tropes because they are idiots.

The seafood restaurant chain — which has 649 locations nationwide — has sought advice from law firm King & Spalding on how to shed some long-term contracts and renegotiate a chunk of its leases, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg.

Red Lobster’s funds have taken a hit in recent months by strenuous leases and rising labor costs, among other issues, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity, per Bloomberg.

The hours-long hearing was also rife with accusations that African migrants are given worse treatment than their Spanish-speaking counterparts.

363 Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of “electronic communications surveillance provider,” an amendment offered by House intel committee (HPSCI) leaders and passed by the House vastly expands the universe of entities that can be compelled to assist the NSA.

If the bill becomes law, any company or individual that provides ANY service whatsoever may be forced to assist in NSA surveillance, as long as they have access to equipment on which communications are transmitted or stored—such as routers, servers, cell towers, etc. That sweeps in an enormous range of U.S. businesses that provide wifi to their customers and therefore have access to equipment on which communications transit. Barber shops, laundromats, fitness centers, hardware stores, dentist’s offices… the list goes on and on.

Wednesday Morning Rant

"Consultants"

That's what they often call themselves, anyway. Traditionally, consultants are third parties who come into a company to help solve a problem by bringing their expertise to bear. It's a mixed bag to say the least and the idea of outside consultants has its fans and detractors, with the latter often outnumbering the former. It is more complicated than ever because alongside the traditional consultancy market, a new breed has emerged.

Well, a very old breed, just with a new name. Next to the traditional consultancies - efficacy notwithstanding - are the undisguised ideological gangsters. These new-school consultancy firms aren't there to help their clients' businesses, aren't there to provide technical or regulatory expertise and aren't there to deliver accurate information. They exist to enforce ideological conformity under threat of destruction.

One type of these gangster consultants operates against the target directly. They act as ideological cops, muscle their way into organizations, then start wreaking havoc. This variety started making headlines recently in the games business, after gamers started to notice and discuss their corrosive effects on the product. The most famous of this variety at the moment is Sweet Baby. Inc. out of Canada.

Sweet Baby bullies games developers to wokify their games, and one way it gets through the door is by threatening the development companies with Twitter armies descending on them with woke backlash. Several years ago, the boss of Sweet Baby put it pretty bluntly to its ideological allies in the games companies: terrify your bosses into hiring us:

This is a direct "nice shop you have here, it would be a shame if something happened to it" mafia tactic. It's a protection racket. "Pay me or I'll wreck up the joint and scare off your customers" is what the mob does, not a business. And the mob, at least, won't break your windows if you pay. These guys break your windows anyway and claim that it's to allow more customers to come in.

The other type of gangster consultancy operates against the target indirectly, by poisoning the target's business customers/partners. They get other companies to punish the target. This variety is the "research" firm. They don't provide strategy or direct recommendations, they provide "information" about with whom it is safe - that is Party-approved - for you to do business. This is the professional services equivalent of the "fact checking" racket. A recent example of this is an outfit called DoubleVerify.

DoubleVerify provides "brand safety" data to companies. "Brand safety" is an attempt to quantify whether advertisements appear near content that the advertiser wants. A brand may want their ad to show up near posts about cars, for example, but not near posts containing pornography. DoubleVerify provides data about ad placement to advertisers. This seems reasonable on its face, until you get to the problem: the company was "inaccurate" about ad placements on X/Twitter - and only on X. They showed X as having low scores for "brand safety" despite the platform actually having very high scores, and this resulted in their customers pulling ads from X and suspending ad campaigns there. DoubleVerify claims it was a mistake and has now been corrected, but this "mistake" was active for months. A mistake of this magnitude in their core product can mean only that they are incompetent, that they were lying, or both. There is not an innocent explanation.

The consultant mafias make navigating consultancies quite difficult for businesses. If a company thinks it needs a consultant for strategy or technical expertise, how does it pick one that is real and avoid accidentally hiring an ideological gangster? If a company needs data about product performance or market conditions, how does it choose a data service that provides real information rather ideologically-conforming disinformation?

The consultant industry was already plagued with problems of inconsistent results or outright incompetence, but an industry or product doesn't have to be broadly reputable or beloved to be strapped down to the altar of Woke sacrifice.

30 Welp, Hezbollah fired a drone at a community center in a town in Northern Israel, wounding 18, one seriously. Hezbollah continued its attacks to try to keep emergency services from aiding the victims.

The twist?

It was an Arab town.

Hezbollah is now targeting Arab Israelis to punish them for their loyalty to the Israeli state in the current conflict.

True SMEs are often valuable in technical fields. I've even been one myself, so that might color my opinion of it.

But "you must have SMEs X, Y and Z no matter what" rules often make little sense. "This guy really knows his shit, so talk to him before you potentially blow up the system" often does.

If he actually knows his shit, of course.

The President brought in a management consultant who came in and interviewed the staff and wrote a report.
To the chagrin of the President, the staff and the consultant identified the President as the problem. The President got so pissed off that he went to corporate and bad mouthed the consultant, saying she should never be used again.

Lack of vision, usually. I've seen it happen numerous times.

The division is failing to hit its numbers and the GM of the division can't figure out what if anything to cut, what if anything to buy or implement to improve efficiency, how or if to reorganize, etc. His job is in the line if he doesn't hit those numbers, so he'll fire 3-4 people to free up budget and then spend the money bringing in consultants to "assess the business and provide recommendations."

71 ME became the 17th state to ratify the National Interstate Popular Vote Compact this week. That makes 209 electoral votes. It takes 270 to go into effect.

MI is actively considering it right now. Last night, the DEMs recaptured the MI House via 2 special elections. DEMs now have the trifecta in MI again-- the governor & both branches of the legislature. MI would make it 224 in favor.

This horror show flies beneath the radar. The public is mostly unaware of it, I suspect.

It would be a serious mistake to think this thing is unconstitutional, so therefore... not to worry. If it goes into effect, the courts are likely to uphold it, because the states are given great latitude as to how they choose their electors.

So, no more Electoral College. As CA and NY go, so goes the nation.

75 Long-term capital gains tax rates range from 0% to 20%, based on taxable income 1040 line 15:
--------
Justin's new budget from yesterday:
The federal government is increasing capital gains taxes on wealthy individuals and companies, leaning on an affluent segment of the population to finance billions in new spending on housing and other government priorities.

The federal budget, released Tuesday, increases the inclusion rate on some capital gains. Businesses will now pay income tax on two-thirds of their capital gains earnings, up from one half. The increase will also apply to individuals, but only on capital gains earnings over $250,000.

The tax measure is expected to net the government $19.3-billion over the next five years – $8.8-billion from individuals and $10.5-billion from companies – in a bid to offset roughly $53-billion in new spending. It’s by far the largest revenue measure in the budget and the first change to capital gains taxes in a quarter-century.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland described the measure as an attempt to lean against “structural inequality” and raise funds from wealthy individuals that could be funnelled toward middle class and younger Canadians

102 Makes you wonder why the right doesn't apply Alinsky and do the same damn thing right back to them.

because the left doesn't care. All those things like income equality, diversity, etc? They do not give the slightest shit about.

They want power. And they want to use that power to take things from you.

So ultimately they have a very simple calculus for if something is moral or not. Does this make us, the left, strong or not?

If the answer is yes then it is all good. Which is why feminists defend Bill Clinton raping women, environmentalists defend the megawealthy being "carbon pigs", and the "peace movement" defends the endless war in Ukraine.

111 71 ME became the 17th state to ratify the National Interstate Popular Vote Compact this week. That makes 209 electoral votes. It takes 270 to go into effect.

MI is actively considering it right now. Last night, the DEMs recaptured the MI House via 2 special elections. DEMs now have the trifecta in MI again-- the governor & both branches of the legislature. MI would make it 224 in favor.

This horror show flies beneath the radar. The public is mostly unaware of it, I suspect.

It would be a serious mistake to think this thing is unconstitutional, so therefore... not to worry. If it goes into effect, the courts are likely to uphold it, because the states are given great latitude as to how they choose their electors.

So, no more Electoral College. As CA and NY go, so goes the nation.

That's true about the disconnect. I recall trying to get an upper management guy to see it. He wasn't a dummy, by any means, but he simply couldn't grasp how unreliable the communication was between levels.

I did know one man who, whenever someone under him took a vacation, tried to spend one day working that person's desk. That would help. But you cannot go that far down; not enough time.

A friend told me the only useful advice he'd seen from a consultant was that, if you interview several people for a position, you should hire the one you like least.

Yes and no. I tend to agree that the target is a soft target in that woke cancer has already metastasized at the target and makes it prone to bouts of woke harakiri already.

But the threat of social media blowback is a real threat to be taken seriously. It's not a gaggle of SM incels ranting on SM per se, but the chance (likelihood?) that such an effort turns into larger cancellation. Even huge game developers need access to sales channels, promotion, banks and financing, etc. All of that can be targeted and, as we've seen, they have spines made of limp-wristed homosexual noodles.

Oy. Okay. From the article:
The heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across the desert nation stemmed partly from cloud seeding. The UAE started cloud seeding operations in 2002 to address water security issues, even though the lack of drainage in many areas can trigger flooding.

Cloud seeding is unreliable and expensive. It's extremely unlikely that cloud seeding caused a 100-year storm (or whatever this one was).

I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism. But I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cited in my Free Press essay," Berliner wrote in a statement published on X.

Yea, that was my point above. I think what's in the manifesto goes beyond the usual rantings. I think it directly implicates others and that's why they are fighting so hard to keep it hidden.

I've seen eras with large-breasted women's paintings referred to as "melons" and small-breasted as "apples" showing changing ideals of feminine beauty. Think Italian Renaissance versus Low Countries/Northern European. Suggested internet search for 'Adam and Eve' paintings.

he work “changed my life,” Silver told NBC News on Sunday, and he said it had given him a new appreciation of the skills carpenters had in the Middle Ages. “It’s a once in a millennium experience,” he said in an interview. “Having that as my job site at my place of work every day does not get old.”Silver, who is part of Carpenters Without Borders, a team of volunteers who restore historical structures the world over, is one of a handful of craftsmen from around the world who are trained to carry out the work of rebuilding Notre Dame.

329 I favor dungeons over body counts in respect to all extra legal activists during this period.

Nice damp moldy stone walled dungeons with piss pots, gruel and plenty of time to reflect on their misdeeds. No torture as in Turkish prisons but there will be punishment for those who act out.

330 Under questioning from Kavanaugh about prison sentences, Prelogar tried to make it sound like 1512c2 defendants with other nonviolent offenses (common misdemeanors) only get about 24 months in jail.

She quickly mentioned the “Brock” case–referring to Larry Brock, a man from Texas convicted at bench trial of 1512c2 and 5 misdemeanors–and the “enhancement” recently overturned by DC appellate court in 1512c2 convictions.

So what did DOJ ask for in Brock case? Not 24-26 months as Prelogar attempted to mislead Kavanaugh into believing.

NO–DOJ asked for 60 months in prison.

Guggenheim, Alberto Giacometti, in part,

"In 1955, he was honored with retrospectives at the Arts Council Gallery, London, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. He received the Sculpture Prize at the 1961 Carnegie International in Pittsburgh and the Grand Prize for Sculpture at the 1962 Venice Biennale, where he was given his own exhibition area. In 1965, Giacometti exhibitions were organized by the Tate Gallery, London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Louisiana Museum, Humlebaek, Denmark, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. That same year, he was awarded the Grand Prix National des Arts by the French government.

Thanks.

Black community, old says goes, 'don't have anything to do with them across the tracks'. Across the tracks were White Trash, usually illiterate, Irish, drunks, and wife beaters. They weren't forced into a life of stupidity they chose it and there children didn't know any better. This was elementary school it was right next to the tracks so there was a generous mix of white trash and regular people and it was easy to tell who was who.

It's the same with Blacks today, there's a dichotomy. There are those who have studied and want a civil life for themselves and their children and those who don't care to know better. It's easier for them to see the difference than us; Just as it was easier for us kids to know white trash from not.

The Morning Report — 4/17/24

totalcontrolbiden.jpg

Good morning, kids. A couple of under-the-radar stories that despite on the surface could be taken as good news items nevertheless underscore the ideologically-driven incompetence and lust for absolute power of the anti-American Democrat-Left that don't necessarily fill me with strength and confidence.

First, yet another story that tells us that the push for EVs is crashing and burning hotter than a Chi-Com lithium battery factory:

Tesla, the most iconic of EV manufacturers, seemed to be avoiding this skid. Unfortunately, the realities of being a niche market with every increasing costs associated with production have caught up with the firm headed by billionaire Elon Musk.

Tesla ill lay off more than 10% of its global workforce, according to a memo sent to employees by CEO Elon Musk. The company’s shares closed down more than 5% on Monday. “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity,” Musk said in the memo obtained by CNBC. “As part of this effort, we have done a thorough review of the organization and made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally,” the memo said.

. . . Furthermore, EV sales continue to decline and other car companies are beginning to make alternative production plans as a result. Until there is a charging infrastructure network that can accommodate the entire American public, an electric grid that can handle capacity, enough natural resources to build models at a moderate price, and technology that doesn’t ignite when it gets wet or won’t start when it gets too cold, this may be the beginning of the end of the road for EV-mania.

Well, except for in the minds of lunatic eco-activists who are pushing their insane “Net Zero 2050” agenda. If we could power cars with their hot air and smugness, then we would be able to run our vehicles forever.

As we discussed with friend and friend of the blog Bob Zimmerman a couple of podcasts ago, we are actually fans of Elon Musk, mostly because SpaceX is a giant thumb in the eye of a the Junta's drive to wipe out independent, free market entrepreneurialism as well as for X/Twitter being perhaps the last large bastion of free speech open to conservative voices of opposition.

As for Tesla, well, EVs are nothing more than souped-up golf carts; status symbols that at present are just not capable of supplanting gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. That assessment is the sane, rational one. And yet, the Junta and the enviro-Marxists persist. Hint: they do so for anything but altruistic reasons.

Hold that for a while as we examine another category entirely, the entertainment industry. The collapse of the movie industry as a whole, with Disney being the prime example, as a result of backlash from ticket buyers and content subscribers against "woke" agitprop strangling golden-egg-laying gooses from the Marvel universe to Star Wars to James Bond and everything in between, should be seen as a lesson to the Bob Igers and Kathleen Kennedys of this world. Should be.

Before answering that question, here's another little bit of schadenfreude to have with your "covfefe":

Left-wing billionaire Jeff Skoll’s woke film studio Participant is reportedly shutting down operations and eliminating most of its staff — the latest victim of Hollywood’s sharp downturn that has seen a bloodbath of layoffs and budget cuts.

Participant, founded in 2004, often financed projects with social justice and globalist themes, including former Vice President Al Gore’s climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth and its sequel. Other titles include the Obama’s Netflix documentary American Factory and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg doc RBG. . .

. . . Hollywood’s tectonic shift to streaming entertainment has wreaked havoc with the specialty movie model that depends heavily on theatrical distribution to generate word-of-mouth business and awards-season buzz. Specialty titles that would once have received a theatrical release now almost all end up on streaming platforms in lieu of cinemas.

Participant also experienced a number of high-profile box office flops — including the environmentally themed Dark Waters, starring Mark Ruffalo, and the Matt Damon thriller Stillwater. . . Hollywood studios have been hit hard in the past year, enacting deep budget cuts amid a perfect storm of economic chaos that includes Americans continuing to cancel their cable TV subscriptions, the steep downturn in TV advertising, and streaming losses in the billions of dollars.

For sure, the rise of alternate personal venues from computers to smart phones to streaming services put intense pressure on traditional movie theaters. The COVID lockdowns, rising costs and then skyrocketing costs since the installation of Joey-Sponge Brain-Shits Pants, plus the rejection of the majority of normal Americans of ham-fisted "woke" propaganda is the death knell. Or at least should be. Here to, they still persist.

The question is, why? Why continue to waste billions of dollars producing films and shows or EVs no one wants to see and no one wants to drive? Why take the far and away #1 selling beer in the nation and kill it as well as taint all the other labels of the corporation that brews it?

Elon Musk and Tesla aside, since he is essentially an enemy of the State, the reason is because ideology now trumps sanity. Plus the fact that the corruption that has all but destroyed the American system of government and the Constitution, has crept into the so-called private sector mostly via at least three generations of academic brainwashing.

Considering brainwashed Marxist automatons and power-mad venal tyrants control virtually all of the instrumentalities of government that, because of their lack of ethics, morals, aforementioned lust for power and in-your-face hatred of this nation, people, history and culture as founded, and now their willingness to use it to crush is like insects as can plainly be seen with Donald Trump's show trials among many other things, nothing can force them to slam on the brakes instead of flooring the gas pedal, or potentiometer?, before driving the car into the Grand Canyon.

Even if woke studios go broke, even if EVs are no longer to be made, that does not mean ipso facto that non-woke if not pro-American Judeo-Christian-affirming or plan old normal stories will be made or that a return to the sanity of gasoline powered vehicles is guaranteed.

Quite the opposite. It makes no difference. The bottom line is total control of the citizenry by an all-powerful State. How? By seizing control of "the means of production" and prohibiting alternatives. Any voice that challenges accepted State policy or woke worldviews will be silenced. Total control is the goal. Whether you refuse to purchase an EV because you don't like it, or because you can't even afford one and the strangulation of the internal combustion engine leaves no alternatives, and essentially stranded in place, the end result is the same.

Total control by the State.

Soon the government might shut down your car. [So-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden's new infrastructure gives bureaucrats that power.  

You probably didn't hear about that because when media covered it, few mentioned the requirement that by 2026, every American car must "monitor" the driver, determine if he is impaired and, if so, "limit vehicle operation."

. . . The kill switch is just one of several ways the government proposes to control how we drive. California lawmakers want new cars to have a speed governor that prevents you from going more than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit.  

That would reduce speeding. But not being able to speed is dangerous, too, says Fix. If "something's coming at you, you have to make an adjustment." New cars will have a special button on the dash. If you suddenly need to speed and manage to find the button when trying to drive out of some bad situation, and it lets you speed for 15 seconds.

For all these new safety devices to work, cars need to spy on drivers. Before I researched this, I didn't realize that they already do. The Mozilla Foundation reports that car makers "Collect things like your age, gender, ethnicity, driver's license number, your purchase history and tendencies." Nissan and Kia "collect information about your sex life."

How? Cars aim video cameras at passengers. Other devices listen to conversations and intercept text messages. Then, says Mozilla, 76% of the car companies "sell your data."

. . . Finally, Biden's infrastructure bill also includes a pilot program to tax you based on how far we drive. 

 "A mileage charge seems fair," I say to Fix. "You pay for your damage to the road." "Correct," she replies. "But when you start allowing them to do this, they could say, 'We don't want you to buy a firearm.' ... 'We don't want you to go to that destination. So we're not going to let you start your car.' It's about control."

I push back. "They're not controlling me."

"They can," she replies. "Wait until you get a bill for your carbon footprint. 'You're at your maximum for carbon credits. We're not going to let you drive today! Take the train. Take the electric bus.'"

"This is paranoia," I suggest.

"Maybe," says Fix. "But so far, everything that I've said about these things, each step keeps coming through."

"Control" was supposed to be a Janet Jackson song, not a how-to-do-it manual.

Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson, the alleged sane alternative to Luntz cabana boy Kevin McCarthy and your GOP, Grifting Oleaginous Parasites, just rammed through an extension and probably expansion of FISA. The law aimed at "foreign" terrorists and spies.

Well, since the government we have is the furthest thing from America as founded, those of us who still identify as American-Americans are in point of fact foreigners now. And terrorists. And insurrectionists.

I am, personally, of the belief that Musk used Tesla primarily as a government backed piggybank to allow him to get SpaceX where it is today. Twitter was purchased largely because their overreach affected, and annoyed, him. SpaceX, and Starlink, are what he really cares about because he wants people on Mars.

With regards to EV's; the Blue Oval spin-off Ford did for their EV battery development and manufacturing to the tune of over a billion dollars is in trouble. With demand for EV's tanking there's no reason to have massive battery manufacturing plants.

But they've already built a couple. And are trying to figure out what to do about the half built, or yet to be built ones they've committed to.

34 With very little media coverage from even our side Rand Paul has been doggedly investigating Fauci and his minions and their funding of the virus. Yesterday he announced he had uncovered emails from Peter Dazak of EcoHealth Alliance where Dazak claimed his team had 15,000 samples of the virus and over 700 variants stored in the Wuhan lab as the virus was infecting the world.

In a normal world this would be the biggest story in the world. It's barely being covered.

38 The push for EVs by governments was always unsustainable, but calling Teslas “souped up golf carts.” Isn’t fair.

EVs aren’t for everyone in every situation, particularly for those who put on tons of miles and live in an apartment or rural area, but they are far superior for some folks. I live in Dallas and my Tesla can 1) drive me to my office by itself and 2) leaves home and with a full “tank” every day. Much more convenient than hunting for gas near me

And has said that businesses never take State tax structure into account when determining if they should create a business in a high tax State.

This is one case where I would like to see Lockdown Larry Hogan win election.

48 I am, personally, of the belief that Musk used Tesla primarily as a government backed piggybank to allow him to get SpaceX where it is today. Twitter was purchased largely because their overreach affected, and annoyed, him. SpaceX, and Starlink, are what he really cares about because he wants people on Mars.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic


I think he built Tesla to show what could be built, but I don't think he expected to make another fortune on it. In fact, until very recently, Tesla's main source of revenue was selling carbon credits to the big three. He also maximized the benefit of taking taxpayer dollars via subsidies on EV.

65 I do a lot of work with fire departments both domestically and around the world and there is no bigger issue right now for them than EVs and lithium ion batteries in general. It is an enormous problem and the truth is nobody has invented a way to safely deal with them when they burn and they burn a lot.

When they burn the most popular way to deal with them is still to pour an enormous amount of water on them to keep them cool. Water won't extinguish them but it can slow thermal runaway. The down side is all of the water poured on the batteries becomes a toxic mess.

If someone wants to buy an EV go for it. But stop lying about what they are. They take an enormous amount of mining of minerals to build and they are an ecological disaster to dispose of. They are the furthest thing from "green".

His internal problem is more fundamental: He seems to be stuck in a 2004 mindset. He thinks he has to “do something” and “keep the government operating”…. No no no. His mindset needs to be: I’m not bringing anything to the floor until I get my priorities addressed. Don’t fund anything… call all their bluffs.

101 Eh I like my EV. For city driving it’s great, plugged in overnight, always a full “tabk” in the morning. And it costs me about 1/3 of what the equivalent for gas would be.

It’s a lease so I give no fucks about long term reliability or battery life. And man are there some ridiculously good leases out there on EVs right now. The $7500 fed rebate and whatever your state is giving (california is up to $12,000) almost pay for the entire lease. Plus manufactures are discounting too. Negotiate well and you can drive a $60k car for $300 a month.

No, you won't.
There is no used market.
And no salvage value.

You don't repair EVs unless it's minor damage. It gets declared a total loss.

If it's totaled? You can barely give it away for the scrap aluminum price.
Recently saw a totalled Tesla get a $400 bid at salvage auction.
Which tells me:
1) those batteries are way more toxic than they're letting on
2) all those electronics? The screens, the controls, the motors? Worthless as parts.
Replacement of those batteries, the electronics? Costs more than the car is worth. No resale or salvage value.

Erskine became a huge supporter on the Special Olympics and his son lived a normal life which was unusual for a Downs syndrome person at the time The son passed away just last year.

132 His internal problem is more fundamental: He seems to be stuck in a 2004 mindset. He thinks he has to “do something” and “keep the government operating”…. No no no. His mindset needs to be: I’m not bringing anything to the floor until I get my priorities addressed. Don’t fund anything… call all their bluffs.

How about just a return to regular order instead of omnibus bills?
Every fundraising pitch for the last 20 years has been some variation of "fighting the left."
But not one time have they ever said "no. No, we will not fund that."
As I said yesterday, I don't care that Johnson has only one vote--1 vote is all you need to say "no."

It's not just the myth of Truman that they use as a dodge, but Clinton (even though Rs gained) and Obama (which also saw Rs gain)--but they'll never give up the lie that shutdowns hurt Rs.

138 The Mercedes warranty on batteries is 155k miles or 12 years.

Keep in mind there are never any oil changes or fluid flushes or transmission issues or any of the other repairs maintenance costs of an IC car over these 12 years. Shit I just paid $2500 for routine work on one of my cars recently. Tires, brakes, steering, suspension is about it for an EV.

So even if in 12 years a new battery is needed, you're no worse off than 12 years of constant maintenance expenses.

Our experts found that over five years, the owner of a Tesla Model 3 can expect to spend an estimated $3,115 on maintenance, or $623 annually. That’s slightly higher than many gas-powered competitors. For example, maintenance for the Genesis G70 costs $2,621 over five years.

Our experts found that over five years, the owner of a Tesla Model 3 can expect to spend an estimated $3,115 on maintenance, or $623 annually. That’s slightly higher than many gas-powered competitors. For example, maintenance for the Genesis G70 costs $2,621 over five years.

Accept in no place in the article above does it say or even indicate that he is what he did. In fact, the article quotes Eastman as saying "we" had to get new accounts which unless he believes he's the King of England would indicate that these were indeed joint accounts.

Long before his association with Trump Eastman was a well respected legal scholar and former law clerk to Clarence Thomas. Call me crazy but I somehow doubt he was committing insurance fraud to save a few bucks on his insurance. The simpler explanation is that USAA caved to the woke mob which is all too common these days.

222 "apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

A $300 battery. Air suspension needed work went kaput $700 fix. New tires will be needed soon for one of them, $1200. Every year there’s a couple of items like this per car. They’re German cars and I know that’s part of the deal.

Seem to recall he was hanging out with Don King in the 80's and was beloved by hiphop stars (pre-political career) because he, too, enjoyed conspicuous displays of wealth. He promoted blacks within his organization, such as Omarosa (I know). He met with Kanye, he pushed to get first-time drug offenders released (or whatever it was that had that drug-dealing grannie released), freed those black basketball players arrested in China, and lifted a lot of black household incomes (along w/other races) with the economic prosperity his policies created.

Well, maybe. I haven't seen it, and won't. I did read the book, and it was weak, IMO. But then, most sci-fi leaves me cold.

But one of the few I do like is, predictably, Lewis. And he said he wished Britain were returning to paganism. Christians know how to convert them. (He actually said he'd be more optimistic if Parliament were opened with the sacrifice of a garlanded white bull.)

2) Never answer the phone unless you know the caller.
3) Be prepared to hang up and maybe send them off with a "Fuck Your Mama" or two. Stop being polite on the phone, it's not 1928.

Biden won an estimated 90 percent of the two-way vote among Black voters in 2020 — which is both an overwhelming win, and the worst performance for a Democrat among Black voters in over a decade. Clinton won 93 percent of the two-way vote among Black voters in 2016, and Obama won 97 percent in 2012.

322 1. Not every EV is a Tesla
2. For grins I looked for used Teslas and the oldest I found with a quick search is a 2013 Model S for $30k with 40k miles. That was $100k new. So 30% of new, at 11 years old isn’t too bad depreciation wise.

Our experts found that over five years, the owner of a Tesla Model 3 can expect to spend an estimated $3,115 on maintenance, or $623 annually. That’s slightly higher than many gas-powered competitors. For example, maintenance for the Genesis G70 costs $2,621 over five years.

I wonder how. One of the benefits of an EV is that absent component failure, they should need fairly little maintenance for the first 5-10 years of ownership.

My *guess* is that, if this is accurate, the problem rises from a combination of very expensive wear items (brakes and tires, with EV tires being particularly expensive and regen adding complexity to braking systems) and the price of specialty services like serving the cooling system for the batteries.

I dunno. I wouldn't mind seeing the internals, because it seems like "initial maintenance and servicing" is one of the areas where an EV should win hands-down. The total lifetime cost is not compelling and resale value reflects that, but initially it should be quite good.

______
Well, maybe. I haven't seen it, and won't. I did read the book, and it was weak, IMO. But then, most sci-fi leaves me cold.


For those of us who enjoy sci-fi, the most recent attempt at filming Dune has been admirable. I've seen part 1, but not yet part 2. The real problems occur when beloved books get butchered by directors wanting to push a message (e.g. Starship Troopers, Foundation). For millions of people, Dune was a fascinating story with epic scope. I found the Federalist critique of the movie pompous and fatuous. It's a movie for goodness sake, and one that for once stayed true to the source material.

Motor regen helps with that a lot. But when the brakes do need servicing, it will be more expensive than a standard brake job. Brake regen systems do add complexity and cost. Motor regen in EVs really helps extend brake life, though, because you don't need to use them nearly as much.

357 With regards to EV's; the Blue Oval spin-off Ford did for their EV battery development and manufacturing to the tune of over a billion dollars is in trouble. With demand for EV's tanking there's no reason to have massive battery manufacturing plants.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at April 17, 2024 07:57 AM

I think that Ford is counting on the legislation to help it sell batteries. The Blue Oval factory being built in Marshall, Michigan, is supposed to be operation in 2026 - when the requirement starts. (IMHO the battery factory is still a Chinese operation with Ford presenting an American face).

Though the NASA press release notes the agency will revise its computer models for determining what will burn up in the atmosphere and what will not, it says nothing about reinbursing the homeowner, Alejandro Otero, for the damage to his home. Based on the Outer Space Treaty, the U.S. is likely liable for this damage. I suspect the negotiations are on-going, and if Otero doesn’t have a lawyer yet, he should get one immediately.

My non -EV cars got $600, 90k mile service last year and a $2000 60k mile service this year. Oil changes are more in the $100-200 range. A fuel pump was replaced for $1000 not long ago. A $300 battery. Air suspension needed work went kaput $700 fix. New tires will be needed soon for one of them, $1200. Every year there’s a couple of items like this per car. They’re German cars and I know that’s part of the deal.

(As for most gov. employees, contractors, unions, it's not value by job - as many are fairly worthless & tasks duplicated - so much as having a rotating stable of folks who make X amount, are taxed X amount federally, by state &/or locally; pay fees for luxury items, etc.)

Israel War

It is obvious that the October 7th pogrom has caused a sea change in the Israeli psyche...both among the people and, more importantly, among many of its politicians. Decoupling Israel's legitimate security interests from the geopolitics that have pushed the country to take half measures and carefully titrated responses to threats that any other country on earth would have tried to destroy, is long overdue.

Whether that lasts remains to be seen, but the blinders are off. And sadly, the current American administration has shown that it is no longer a trusted partner and ally, pushing for the status quo ante bellum so that its plans for Iranian hegemony in the Middle East can move forward.

The news that Biden may have given implicit approval for the Iranian attack is disgusting, but not surprising. The assumption is that Israel will return to its failed policy of half measures, by choice or by pressure.

Israel to carry out 'limited' strike within Iran, according to a U.S. official

According to the American news channel, officials within U.S. President Joe Biden's administration are expecting Israel to make this decision but have not been sharing its "targeting."

Gee....I wonder why? Would anyone be surprised if one of Iran's agents or friends within the Biden Administration or the State Department communicated that targeting information to Iran?
***

New footage shows how a stabbing attack was thwarted
Prior to leaving to carry out the attack, the suspect posted on social media that, "The most important thing is that I end my life with satisfaction, because there is no fulfillment other than paradise."

That is the mindset Israel faces. There is no middle ground. There is no accommodation. There is no peaceful, or even cold coexistence.

Emergency campaign for farm heroes: The Hashomer in Judea and Samaria is launching a crowdfunding campaign to purchase 80 satellite phones to protect shepherds on the agricultural farms.
See the difference?

Israel and Judaism values life as a gift. It is precious. Islam sees it as a tool.

5 Ok... i gotta make a possibly unpopular take that i refuse to stand behind, but I'll stand next to shrugging and saying "eh?"...

Apparently the Jordanians and Saudis finked on Iran, warning US and Israel about Iran's attack. They even let us use their airspace, and contributed in the defense themselves.

It almost lends credence to the idea that Shitpants "allowed" the attack because he knew there was a very good chance the deck was stacked against Iran far more than they knew. Better to let an attack happen and fizzle out, than to pre-empt it and look like the aggressor (gasp. Oh no. Anyway...)

Still a bit reprehensible, but.... interesting if true.

I'll bite.

But Biden couldn't have prevented the attack. All he could do was present a united front and maybe gotten Iran to stand down.

In the grand scheme, the attack was probably a net benefit to Israel and the West. Unless it was a grand feint to draw out the defenses and see how they function. But...I doubt that.

24 An Iranian-born Pentagon official is to keep her top-level security clearance despite being named as part of a covert influence campaign run by Tehran — and being called a “spy” by Republicans.

Ariane Tabatabai appeared to be a willing recruit in the covert influence operation run by Tehran’s Foreign Ministry, according to a trove of leaked files revealed last month by Semafor.

She was previously a key aide to the suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley, whose secret ties to Tehran sparked congressional uproar.

54 Israel "feels like" they have to respond. Iran says Israel "will definitely be met with a severe response" Can these people control their egos and emotions, or do they have a desire to plunge the Middle East into war?

Some so called "leaders" use the loss of other's lives in conflict like a justification of themselves and trot it around as though it is their right to treat it like a "hero's robe" for themselves. They revel in the "glory" of battle and pull the edges of their stolen robe ever tighter around them. They are like a parasite on the body of humanity.

Israel, presumably to deflect from its Gazan crimes against humanity & naked West Bank land grab, suddenly attacks Iran out of nowhere in a blatant Act of War, without even giving the US a heads up.

Then when Iran retaliates--as it must-- in a rather performative & ultimately harmless way, Israel now shrieks that it was attacked for no reason and must strike back. What the hell is Bibi playing at?


It could be to force the US to deal with Iran in an election year. So there's extra pressure on Biden to do something, which goes down after election day.

    It's a good article, and it covers the whole history of undersea cables and cable repair:
    Field fared no better. Twelve years after he began, he had endured severed cables, near sinkings, and had one "success": a cable laid in 1858 that prompted celebrations so enthusiastic that revelers set fire to New York City Hall. The cable failed weeks later.
    We need more of this.

    The only problem is that as you scroll through it, every so often it hits an image gallery and scrolls sideways.

I'm not a huge fan of government handouts, even when it's not my government and not my tax dollars, but as I've said before, almost everything the government spends its money on is worse than this.

When Biden tells Xi, 'Don't' (as in don't invade Taiwan) I'm certain it will be just as effective as when he used that same word on Putin and Iran. Six point four billion to this administration is about six minutes spending. A fvcking trillion dollars in new debt every 100 days. I'm not saying it's hopeless, but I have lost my hope, and I'm wasted and I can't find my home.

15 'Lightning Man - The Accursed Life of Samuel Morse' has some interesting bits about the first attempts at the undersea cables.

It also has the odd bit of trivia in that when Morse was studying art, which he felt was his true calling, in Europe, he wrote a newspaper column recounting his travels. In that column may have been the first mention in a US English language publication of pizza. Morse did not approve.

Posted by: Epobirs at April 17, 2024 04:59 AM (/0z9K)

16 “This, plus the timing of the faults, indicated it wasn’t the quake that broke the cables but the underwater avalanches it triggered.”

Some think an underwater avalanche was a force multiplier that created the 40m Omoe Peninsula tsunami on 311.

The 1976 movie 'Car Wash' comes to mind. The cashier in the movie was played by Melanie Mayron, a name that I heard many a time on the speaker system at my suburban Pennsylvania high school. Anyway, towards the end of the movie the character Abdullah pronounces, “It’s all falling apart, man. It's all falling apart.”

That is my assessment of where the USA is right now. Bottom of the ninth, six runs behind, with the bottom of the order coming to the plate.

Those ships don't work in secret, they just do work that's so far removed from the end user that they get ignored by all but the people who understand how the technology works. So, it's not secretive, it's ignored.

*****

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

—Abraham Lincoln

Last week's solar eclipse is a member of Saros 139, which will, in 162 years (July 16, 2186) will produce a solar eclipse off the coast of northern South America that will hit 7 minutes and 31 seconds in length. This is very close to the theoretical limit of totality length: 7 min 32 sec.

It was also the exeligmos to the total solar eclipse seen in FL, GA and off the East Coast on March 7, 1970.

An exeligmos is a period of 54 years, 33 days that can be used to predict successive eclipses with similar properties and location. For a solar eclipse, after every exeligmos a solar eclipse of similar characteristics will occur in a location close to the eclipse before it.

OR three Saroses. One saros is 6585.3 days, or 18 years, 9-11 days (depending on how many leap years happen in that time) and 8 hours. That eight hours accounts for the eclipse moving 120 degrees to the west.

199 Born This Day -

Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien, OBE. Born April 16, 1939, in West Hampstead, London, England. Died of cancer March 2, 1999, age 59, in Henley-on-Thames, England.

Known professionally as Dusty Springfield.

Dusty Springfield became an international pop star in 1964 with ''I Only Want to Be With You,'' a perky early-Beatles-style love song. Other major 60's hits included ''Wishin' and Hopin' '' (1964), and ''The Look of Love'' (1967), both written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Dusty's sultry rendition of ''The Look of Love,'' from the soundtrack of ''Casino Royale,'' anticipated the heavy-breathing eroticism of Donna Summer a decade later.

Her best seller, ''You Don't Have to Say You Love Me'' (1966), was a big-belting tear-jerker that reached No. 4 on Billboard's singles chart (No. 1 in the UK) and won her her first Grammy nomination. The country-soul ballad ''Son of a Preacher Man,'' her Top 10 hit from 1969, won her new respect and her second Grammy nomination after being prominently featured in the 1994 movie ''Pulp Fiction.

"Saros" was named by Edmond Halley, who accurately predicted the 1715 solar eclipse over England. This usage for this lunar-solar cycle was incorrect, due to some misinterpretation by Halley, or think some source Halley used.

Anyway 1 saros is exactly 223 synodic months.

She wanted to make sure there wasn't a single speck of unused recipe card. They cost money, y'know! (I shouldn't make fun of her frugalty. She lived on a Nebraska farm during the Depression.)

227 "Saros" was named by Edmond Halley, who accurately predicted the 1715 solar eclipse over England. This usage for this lunar-solar cycle was incorrect, due to some misinterpretation by Halley, or think some source Halley used.

Anyway 1 saros is exactly 223 synodic months.

232 A couple of Whitey Herzog stories. Both are true.

1) (Referring to the 1985 NL Championship series): 15 years later, Herzog was asked who his favorite manager was. Without hesitating, he said "Tommy Lasorda, of course." That surprised the sports journo, because Herzog & Lasorda were always thought not to like each other very much. "Why Lasorda, Whitey?" "Because the dumb SOB had a base open and he decided to pitch to Jack Clark!"

The Ripper hit a 3-run homer in the ninth, & the Cards went on to the WS.

2) The Cards once had a problem shortstop named Gary Templeton. An All Star, but a total jerk. After receiving a loud round of boos on Lady's Day in St. Louis (ladies admitted for half price), Templeton stepped onto the ledge of the dugout and gave Cards fans a 360-degree middle finger! First to his left, then straight ahead, then to his right. Herzog stepped up onto the top step of the dugout, grabbed Templeton by his belt, & jerked him down into the dugout.

This incident became famous as the "Gary Templeton Ladies Day salute."

1 saros is when 3 types of lunar orbital cycles align. It's 223 synodic months (complete cycle of lunar phases), 242 draconic months (precession of the nodes), and 239 anomalistic months (precession of the apsides).

Those numbers are close to integral, but not exactly, of course.

Anyway, an integral number of all those three lunar cycles means the sun, moon, and earth return very close to the same relative position, including seasonal (although that will drift over the long term).

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at April 16, 2024 11:20 PM (w6EFb)

237 watched two music based movies last night. Sing Street and Begin Again.

I like Sing Street which was about high school Irish kids starting a band (how many times has that movie been made). It was still pretty good.

Begin Again sucked IMO. Whiny girl song writer who was cheated on by her more famous boyfriend and writing partner.

Think I'll watch Once again to clean the palate. very good about another Irish musician trying to make it.

True story: Chicago cop is called to a walking path, finds unexploded WWII 'pineapple' grenade. Puts it on the top of his squad, sits in the seat under it, and calls it in. LT asks, "Is the pin in it?" Cop gets out, looks, "No." Spoon was rusted in place, which is why the grenade did not go off.

306 >> What would happen to the Earth if the Moon took a hike?

Short term, the tidal interaction would be gone, and there would be crustal and seismic "realignments".

Long term, the seasons would go crazy. The main stabilizing effect of the moon is to keep the earth's spin axis fairly stable. It precesses, but the tilt only varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. It's at 23.5 now, and decreasing.

Without the Moon, that tilt would become quite chaotic, like Mars. The Earth could well "lie on its side", about 90 degree tilt. The seasons would go crazy.

So with all that, what's the point of paying any attention to it at all? The man who reads and listens to nothing at all about it will have a more honest understanding of what's happening than one who listens to anything anyone says.

If you liked the Lee Marvin original, then (assuming you haven't done so) you might want to take a look at the inspiration, the Parker series, written by Donald E. Westlake under the pen-name Richard Stark. They're like the equivalent of a post-graduate introduction to the inner workings of pulling off a heist, as well as a window into the somewhat disturbing world of a high-functioning sociopath in the protagonist, Parker.

As a testimony to how talented he was, Westlake also created the humorous anti-hero John Dortmunder, who headlines a number of comic capers with an equally eccentric crew. Think of the "Oceans" series of heist films, but with a more blue collar and less glamorous cast - that's the world of Dortmunder. Both series worthy of a good read.

If you are buying it to barter with later on down the road buy bags of trash silver (no numismatic value). It still carries most of its weight and is small denominations ie quarters and dimes.

"let me know if your brokerage statement..."

If one is buying gold to prepare for Armageddon, then one is NOT buying gold it as an investment, i.e., in the hope of making a profit.

If one buys or sells physical gold, you DO pay a commission on both ends, unlike buying or selling a gold ETF-- where there are no commissions at all. Plus, you have to pay to store it somewhere (bonded warehouse; safe deposit box) unless you want to assume the risk of not doing so.

From a Moron to a smarter Moron, a lot of this comes down to entry point and diversity (not that kind of diversity you smartasses) of holdings. I'm a real estate bug at my core but have precious metals, stocks (speculative, aristocrat, and everything in between), ammo, etc., etc. I like to keep a remainder amount of any/all vs. liquidating full positions. However, at times a moron or ette needs to ring the register. When all else fails I buy more dirt.

It was 93-94, I wasn't in good mental condition, and it wasn't the only thing happened in Buda/Pest then. He stumbled up all covered in sores, I avoided him, then he reached out with a hand and I just destroyed this guy, stomped him out of reflex. I got on the old subway, you know, the really old one, and at the next stop a dog got on.

498 Well since nobody brought it up.
In the context of a belief in Energy as a Thing: how does one then relate to It? It's not 'God', Einstein believed anyone personifying It as God to be 'infantile'.
If everything is All, if All is All, then there is no individual Thing.
There can be no truly separate Things, any separation is a cruel lie. There can be no genders, not even species.
But then it results in a closed system: if there is only propulsive Energy, what put it into motion? To harbor an Energy belief is to believe in the Perpetual Motion Machine.

I've been dealing with this, as I am a very dedicated monotheist, coping with another person struggling to rectify a Cosmic Energy belief with a Christian monotheistic belief in the immortality of an individual soul. He can't do it.
To be honest, as there are all kinds of Jew Shit going on on this site lately, the overwhelming majority of modern 'jews' do not believe in monotheism and I owe them precisely nothing.

The Moon's orbit is known. And known well. They know the Moon's orbit to millimeter precision now, thanks to lunar laser ranging. The Moon is within a few millimeters, the margin of error, of where General Relativity predicts it should be. Mr. Newton was good, but he wasn't right there. Uncle Al got it right (to at least millimeter level).

At any time, the lunar orbit can be approximated as a Keplerian ellipse, but the orbital parameters change with time, due to the complex perturbations.

Keplerian = an ellipse what Kepler described.

Now, Kepler figured out the motions of the planets were ellipses around the Sun. This was well before Newton, who showed that an inverse square gravitational force would produce such orbits.

Kepler figured this out observationally, watching the planets move. Newton provided the theoretical "reason" for this later.

To describe such an ellipse in 3 dimensions, you need 6 parameters, as these are the classical Keplerian orbital elements.

They are 'a' = semi-major axis, and 'e' = eccentricity. e = 0 is a circle, and 'a' would then be the radius of the circle. That defines an ellipse in a plane.

Now, for the orientation in 3D space, you need two, more , the inclination 'i', and the longitude of the ascending node, capital omega.

Now, the remaining two are the argument of periapsis, lower case omega, and the "true anomaly", theta or nu.

Those 6 define an orbit precisely in 3D space.

"Anomaly" sounds cool, but it basically means "angle" in this context. Those are the standard parameters. There are others, pick any six independent ones. There are other such "anamolies" you can use that replace some of the other terms. Mean anomaly and eccentric anomaly being two.

Morning to all you insomaniacals! 'Tis 72 and humid here, not much wind. I know I should go work out, but I really don't feel up to it. If I don't, I'll have to go tomorrow and one more day this week.

I love "Moon River" by Mancini. But his "Peter Gunn Theme," and his wonderfully discordant and disturbing score for Wait Until Dark are classics too. The story goes that one of the musicians on the recording session for the WuD score told him that she hated playing it, it unsettled her so. That was when he knew he'd gotten it right.

I used to have an album of his with his take on one of the themes from the Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns, "For a Few Dollars More" or "A Fistful of Dollars," prob. the former. I wish I could find it again.

54 The decision in the Fisher case will either be 6-3 against the Government, or 5-4 in its favor. Why? Because Roberts is ALWAYS on the winning side. He wants to vote with the libs but he is not going to vote for them unless he can get Barret or one of the other justices to vote with the libs. In that case he can be the deciding vote to break the 4-4 tie, and will always vote with the libs. Roberts has no convictions of any type except that he, VOTES WITH THE MAJORITY 100% OF THE TIME. He wants to go down in history as a judge who was always right on every issue.

105 Those who are curious, most of the Tiger King tigers ended up in the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado, not that far outside Denver.

Wonderful place, with an elevated walkway that allows you to see the animals doing their thing in wide open spaces. If they decide to let you, that is.

There's an enclosure area, where the lions can come and go from the comfort of the covered cage area, back outside again. One time we saw a huge snake creeping along inside the lion area. Somehow I suspect that snake was not long for this world, but he slunk under the flap of the enclosure, likely seen and eaten by one of the lions after it got outside.

144 Long ago I had a border collie that was the riding-est dog I'd ever personally experienced. Never had to worry much about her doing ANYTHING wrong or out of place, and she was constantly monitoring everything around her and glancing back at me to make sure she wasn't missing any commands.

Word to the wise: Never own a border collie unless that's all you intend to ever own after that. Never, ever get a beagle a few years after the border collie passes.

The CDC has rilly rilly studied the issue, and has determined that their non-vaccine does not cause sudden cardiac deaths in young men.

Well, that should be it, then. The CDC has been nothing but honest and reliable throughout the covid political operation.

This is being reported by noted non-partisan prestige media outlet USA Today, adding further credibility to the report.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released new data addressing the link, or lack thereof, between the COVID-19 vaccine and sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy young adults.

The assessment, conducted between June 2021 and December 2022, investigated the death certificates and vaccination records of 1,292 Oregon decedents aged between 16 and 30 who had died of "cardiac or undetermined" causes.

"The data do not support an association of COVID-19 vaccination with sudden cardiac death among previously healthy young persons," determined the CDC. The vaccine is still recommended for everyone aged over 6 months.


Oh no! Senior "intelligence" officials threaten to resign if the man they staged a coup against wins the presidency!

In further Cultural Enrichment news, the Cornell student who threatened to shoot Jewish students has pled guilty.

A Cornell University student behind a series of brutal online threats last fall to shoot Jewish students and slit their throats has pleaded guilty, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.

Patrick Dai, 21, formerly a junior at Cornell, will be sentenced Aug. 12 and faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, the department stated in a April 10 news release.

His attorney said Dai was recently diagnosed with autism.

"He did it knowingly, but his motivation was really not meant to scare Jewish people," attorney Lisa Peebles told the New York Post. "It was more try to to do the opposite of that which was to garner sympathy for them and make people think twice about supporting Hamas."

Peebles told the Post that Dai was spurred by comments by a Cornell professor who said he found the Oct. 7 Hamas attack killing 1,200 Israeli citizens "exhilarating."

That professor, of course, is not being arrested. He's taking a leave of absence, which means he's being paid to go on a long vacation.

The Cornell professor who called the Hamas terror attack on Israel "exhilarating" and "energizing" is now on a leave of absence until at least the end of the semester.

Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history, went viral for the incendiary remarks to students during a pro-Palestinian protest soon after the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians.

"It was exhilarating. It was exhilarating, it was energizing," he was seen telling the crowd, claiming "you would not be human" not to feel the same.

"I was exhilarated!" he said to a smattering of applause.

Can't wait to see how much less time he gets than a J6 grandma who "paraded."

I know you won't believe this, but I'll tell you anyway. An NGO in Mexico, which conspires with illegal aliens to help them break US immigration law, is also conspiring with them to break US voting law by telling illegals they can vote while in the US, and they need to vote for Biden to keep the border "open."

Meanwhile, pro-terrorist "protesters" are continuing to attempt to cripple America by blocking our highways, bridges, and airports, only to be bailed out by... you-know-who.

"This is part of an international effort in disrupting the global economy," targeting economic "choke points" -- and yet those few who were arrested were bailed out to that thanks of ActBlue and the George Soros-backed Community Justice Exchange.

They're also "taking over" Starbucks shops.

126 Iraq WMD had to pass the Bond Movie Test.

They never found a rotating pool table with a model of the plans to destroy the US, or a "countdown to destruction of the US" clock . . . so therefore there were no WMD's . . .because villains always always lay out the plan for all to see.

It's why one of the very conservative folks from maybe the early 1800s talked about America's "little brigades." Populism equals that "democracy" conservatives keep bashing Progs for prattling on about.

Our Republic was founded on the idea of ordered liberty. Freedom bound by both responsibility and morals. Without that boundary, freedom becomes license, and you descend into hedonism. (Which is why Progs fought so hard to unbound freedom in the 60s and 70s.)

Supreme Court Hears Huge Case About Government's Expansive Reading of the Law; Have Claimed That Hundreds of J6 Protesters, and Trump Himself, Broke Law by "Obstructing" Counting of Votes

Another made-up Trump Only legal doctrine.

Conservatives appear "skeptical" of the government's claim that this law -- which forbids the destruction or alteration of official documents -- can be stretched and twisted to cover protesters objecting to a rigged election.

]The Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared skeptical of the Justice Department's position during oral arguments over whether a federal obstruction law can be used to prosecute some of the rioters involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

While the court's three-justice liberal wing signaled support for the charge, the court's conservative majority raised a series of questions about its potential scope and whether it would criminalize other conduct, such as protests.

How the Supreme Court defines how the obstruction law can be used related to the Capitol attack could impact hundreds of criminal cases, even the pending case against former President Donald Trump, who is also charged with obstructing an official proceeding.

...

During over 90 minutes of arguments, most justices signaled concern with how the Justice Department is using the law, which was enacted by Congress more than two decades ago. Critics claimed the felony charge, which carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years, was intended to prevent evidence tampering -- not an insurrection.

This is CNN, of course. Obviously the J6 lawyers did not claim "we're innocent because this was just an insurrection." That's CNN's lying spin.

Check out this CNN spin-- it's sad that this is a "technical," dispassionate argument about what the law is, instead of a Pageantry of Bloody Shirts and Hurt Feelings like the J6 committee put on:


Mostly absent from oral arguments Tuesday was recognition of the traumatic and deadly events that took place just across the street from the Supreme Court three years ago. Instead, the discussion turned largely on a technical debate about the meaning of the words in the law -- in particular, the word "otherwise."

That 2002 law makes it a felony to "corruptly" alter, destroy or mutilate a record with the intent of making it unavailable for use in an "official proceeding," or to "otherwise" obstruct, influence or impede such a proceeding. Capitol riot defendant Jospeh Fischer, who brought the case to the high court, argued that, taken together, the law was geared toward prohibiting records destruction. But the Justice Department said it encompassed a wider range of actions -- including physical intrusion -- that would obstruct a proceeding.

There was a heavy dose of "whataboutism" from the conservative justices, who repeatedly brought up left-wing protests while pressing both sides about which conduct they believed would be covered by the felony obstruction law.

LOL. Pointing out that the law has only been mutilated to charge The Regime's enemies, while its own street paramilitaries are spared, protected, and even paid off by friendly regime governments, is "whataboutism."


Justice Samuel Alito mentioned the disruptions at the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday, when protesters, angry about Israel's war against Hamas, blocked rush-hour traffic.


...

A decision against the government could reopen some 350 cases in which defendants have been charged with "obstructing" an official proceeding by pushing their way into the Capitol in 2021. The charge can tack up to 20 years onto a prison sentence.

....


"Tell me why I shouldn't be concerned about the breadth of the government's reading, just relying on corrupt intent and the Nexus requirements?" Barrett said, referring to two elements of the crime that Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar has said would limit prosecutors' use of the charge to very particular circumstances.

While Barrett did not speak for most of the arguments, she had an extended exchange with Prelogar that shed light on how she was thinking about the case. She offered an alternative January 6 scenario wherein the rioters never actually breached the Capitol but the Electoral College certification vote was still stopped.

In other words, she was asking if the government can charge someone who had not committed any crime with "obstructing an act of government" if their lawful protests nevertheless cause the delivery of state election certifications.

This is a question that is asking, basically, "Aren't you just criminalizing dissent?"



Barrett also picked up on other conservatives' inquiries over hypothetical scenarios of political demonstrations that interrupt official proceedings in which prosecutors, under the Justice Department's reading, could bring the challenge.

"Do you think it's plausible that Congress would have written the statute that broadly?" the justice asked.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, often a key vote in high-profile cases, threw cold water on the government's position by noting the defendant was charged with six other crimes related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Gorsuch wanted to know if the government held the position that, if protesters protesting the treatment of the J6 protesters felt "flustered" and thus impaired in their ability to make their case, they too could be charged under the Regime's expansive "obstruction" reading.


..

And Chief Justice John Roberts appears focused on whether the provision in question should be connected to the types of crimes that tamper with evidence.


The Supreme Court has rejected a past attempt to read the law beyond its obvious meaning. (It was specifically passed to punish the document-shredding parties by Enron.)


One past Supreme Court case that the Justice Department must contend with, as it tries to sway the justices to sign off on the use of the obstruction charge for January 6 rioters, is a precedent sometimes referred to as "the fish case."

In the 2015 case, a commercial fisherman was catching undersized red grouper off the coast of Florida, then had them tossed back into the Gulf of Mexico, attempting to prevent federal authorities from catching his illicit fishing practices.

Whether he could face the obstruction charge came down to court's determination that fish were a "tangible object."

The court's decision: No, the fish weren't. The fisherman hadn't obstructed.

A 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court that included Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the leader of the court's liberal wing at the time, and Justice Samuel Alito, a stalwart conservative, said a "tangible object" included items "used to record or preserve information," such as a document -- not a fish.

Even Roberts appeared skeptical of the government stealing bases to mean whatever they need it to mean:


But Roberts focused on another way of the reading the law, as influenced by the words before it. And in this case, those words deal with evidence tampering -- not riots.

Roberts said the DOJ shouldn't read the two provisions as though they are standing alone.

"You can't just tack it on and say, 'Look at it as if it's standing alone,'" Roberts said. "Because it's not."

What he's talking about one part of the law specifying that it's criminalizing the destruction or alteration of documents, and another clause speaking more broadly of "otherwise" obstructing the production of documents. He's saying you can't just split the broader-sounding clause off from the other clause -- the first clause announces that this law is about shredding documents. You can't take that "otherwise" to mean the law can be mutated to take any form a Democrat prosecutor wants it to mean.


The government admitted that before the white-hot need to Get Trump, Imprison His Supporters for Any Reason, this law had never, ever been used except to criminalize the alteration of official documents.


Justice Clarence Thomas quizzed the lawyer representing the Justice Department about whether the government has ever used the law this way before.

"There have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings," Thomas said. "Has the government applied this provision to other protests in the past?"

The question appeared to be a skeptical one, suggesting that the Justice Department might be applying the 2002 law at issue in the case in a way that's not uniform. Some conservatives have argued the Justice Department is treating Capitol rioters far harsher than people arrested at protests in 2020, for instance.

What crazies some conservatives are.


Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said that the Justice Department has consistently applied the law beyond evidence tampering but seemed to acknowledge there was a direct parallel to another case.

She may claim that, but from what I can tell, she offered not a single example of the law being applied to a riot.

Update:

My favorite part of the questioning was Gorsuch asking if pulling a fire alarm to interrupt congressional action was also covered and could result in up to 20 years in prison?

How you doin' Jamal?

-

I'm still mainly interested in the timing of the protest.

So many pro-Trump folks went over before the speech (that they'd travelled hundreds of miles to hear) was finished, and they started shaking fences at the exact time needed for Nancy Pelosi to call the House into order under an emergency scenario.

Meaning no new motions could be heard or discussed. During a time when representatives would likely want to discuss some important matters relating to the election.

Amazing how that worked out, wasn't it?

Not many saying 'I am a garbage lady and also a mother.'

Or 'I work the rigs in the gulf of Mexico and also have a family!'

Or 'I go under the mountains of West Virginia and mine coal to put food on the table for my three kids.'

Note: I am not saying that women do not do these jobs, I am saying the type of women who do, probably do not spend any time on twitter. They have enough on their plate to be going on with.

So, why do the CEOs?

35 What I recall is that the 'interruption' occurred during the CHALLENGES / objections to the certification of the electoral college count, an interruption which BENEFITTED the deep state. I'm forgetting what that that component of the process is formally called, and I'm wondering if the timing of the 'letting them in' was intentional.

Isn't this germane to the facts of the case? Doesn't this factoid have some SWAY to the outcome of the proceedings here? I'm not hearing this brought up (or am I overlooking that it was?).

Grouper are a deep south fish so residents of diminutive northern states are less likely to be as outraged over Supreme Court decisions about them.

Yet those same states get two Senators who can little appreciate grouper wrapped in aluminum foil and saturated in lemon and butter and baked at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

With 5 Cultural Marxists on the Court, The Bill of Rights will be gutted as soon as the Lawfare Scumbags and Leftist Federal Judges contrive to get cases before the Court; the DeepState and Democrat Administrations will be given license to interpret laws however they wish as long as they claim they're doing it for social justice and equity; and, Section 1 of the 14th Amendment will be used as rationale for the Court ruling a whole lot of existing laws un-Constitutional and a whole lot of 'novel legal theories' Constitutional.

Leftist lawyers and judges would eventually become the de-facto US Government.

Eventually both Biden and Trump will campaign hard on the question of who gets to decide the makeup of the Court. Meaning the Democrats will fight as hard to keep the Senate in Democrat hands as they are to keep Trump out of the White House.

But, this is a criminal statute dealing with criminal prosecutions.

Yes...plaintiff attorneys are all big democrats and almost all defense attorneys are RHINO types who drive for dollars from one hearing, depo or conference to another and don't give 2 shits about The Constitution or your rights or The Law.

No conservatives to be found in the legal profession ham and eggers, paralegals, investigators or the side pieces and whores who make their living off of it.

You ever give a child the most amazing fishing trip of their life? Jersey waters, outgoing tide, the flounder are making their way back offshore in late August/Septemberish through a narrow channel. Every drift two or three caught - all ~two feet long. My nephew had the time of his life. I'm dropping the shorter ones off the stern of the boat so he won't notice as the cooler was overflowing.

I may have done a lotta stuff not so great in my life but I hope that kid will never forget that experience. He probably caught 40 flounder in an hours time.

Cause-based vs. Principles-based.

When you're working for a cause, almost any decision can be made if it furthers the cause.

When you're considering various principles and weighing them all, it's all about which principles are being ignored.

The cause has one main input. Principles are numerous inputs. The cause wants the cause to win. Balance wins when we weigh principles.

Pro-Palestinian Cultural Enricher Threatens to Murder Entire Bakersfield City Council

So much Cultural Enrichment. I'm so glad we've given away our civilizational legacy to import Third World Values and Third World Strife to once-great country.

An anti-Israel protester wept as a judge arraigned her in California on Friday after she allegedly threatened to murder public officials at a city council meeting.

Riddhi Patel, 28, sobbed as she pleaded not guilty to 18 felony counts after she directed comments to Bakersfield city council members and Republican Mayor Karen Goh for not backing a Gaza cease-fire resolution against Israel and for installing metal detectors at city hall.

Patel was ordered to be held on $1 million bail and stay at least 500 yards away from city hall.


Patel was seen on video during the public comment section of the city council meeting on Wednesday claiming she hoped oppressed minorities would guillotine city government members, declaring that even Jesus Christ would kill them, and threatening to go to their houses and murder them.

Note that she previously wished that members of "the global south" (aka "Cultural Enrichers") would rise up to murder them.

But that was merely a death wish, not a threat:


The activist accused the council members of not caring about the oppression of Palestinians or people anywhere else in the world and later expressed hope that "the global south" rise up and execute them.

"I remind you that these holidays that we practice, that other people in the global south practice, believe in violent revolution against their oppressors, and I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you mother------," she said.

No one took any action against her for that.

So she decided to test how much Unearned Privilege she had as a leftwing probably-sexually-strange WOC and really explore the studio space:


Patel later blasted the mayor and city council for installing extra security measures like metal detectors in the building, calling it an attempt to "criminalize" protesters.


She wrapped up her remarks with a final declaration: "We'll see you at your house. We'll murder you."


As Patel finished speaking, Goh called on police officers present at the meeting to escort the protester out of the building.


Note she was granted bail -- unlike most of the J6 protesters, who rotted in prison for years awaiting (show) trial.

Here's some more of her Cultural Enrichment.

The contrast is dramatic.

In cities around America, pro-Hamas protestors are blocking off airports and bridges and imprisoning people in their cars and the police do nothing.

Meanwhile, in Brussels, the police are shutting down the National Conservatism conference -- a scholarly conference headlined by the leader of Hungary (an EU state!), @PM_ViktorOrban.

Is there more perfect example of anarcho-tyranny? The left has abandoned their commitments to procedural fairness and equal justice under law because, in their view, they are 100% morally correct, and conservatives are morally defective for not agreeing with them.

The left *must* feel the pain of their own rules. They do not understand fairness, only self-interest.

60 Patel is an Indian surname, indicates a high-class background in many cases, and is centered in an area that is overwhelming Hindu and was conquered by the caliphate in the past. It is extremely likely that this person is - or was, at one point - a Hindu.

This is outrageous totalitarianism and must be condemned by all Western political leaders, no matter where you sit on the political spectrum.

Police officers in Brussels shut down a conservative political gathering while former UK politician @Nigel_Farage was on stage.

This is the kind of thuggish gangsterism that we rightly associate with Nazism and Communism.

Shame on the police and mayor of Brussels for this totalitarian tactic!

"The police document," reports The Telegraph, "suggested speeches by speakers including Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman could lead to public disorder or display racist and homophobic views."

Apparently, the police have, for now, allowed the conference to go on.

But they have blocked any new people from entering.

Yet the same police have qualified immunity (if a person is harmed as a result of a police officer's response to a crime in progress, you can't hold the department liable for it). Some AG/DA type has surely decreed that the protestors will be treated with kid gloves, while making all the law abiding citizens suffer the consequences. If the City/State so wished, the could make the protesters' lives miserable, but choose instead everyone else's should be.

Corrupt Leftwing Soros DA Alvin Bragg Threatens Trump With 30 Days of Jail Time If He Exercises His Right, as a Candidate for President, to Criticize His Hyperpoliticized Unjust Prosecution

Consider that Trump's political candidacy depends on him refuting this absurd prosecution as corrupt and partisan -- and George Soros' catspaw Alvin Bragg threatens to throw Trump in jail if Trump dares to dispute this Democrat war-by-other-means prosecution.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a motion Tuesday to hold former President Trump in contempt of court, claiming he violated the gag order imposed upon him by publishing three social media posts relating to two known witnesses in his criminal trial -- Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

Bragg is urging Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan to also warn Trump that "future violations" of the gag order can be punished "not only with additional fines, but also with a term of incarceration of up to thirty days."

Merchan last month imposed a gag order on Trump, due to his "prior extrajudicial statements." Merchan said they established "a sufficient risk to the administration of justice."

Merchan ordered that Trump cannot make or direct others to make public statements about witnesses concerning their potential participation or about counsel in the case -- other than Bragg -- or about court staff, DA staff or family members of staff.

So Trump can't point out that Merchan's Democrat-operative daughter works for a company that fundraised $33 million on the promise to get Trump convicted.


Merchan also ordered that Trump cannot make or direct others to make public statements about any prospective juror or chosen juror.

So Trump can't say anything when the DA fills the jury with leftwing ringers.

...


The first statement Bragg's team said was in violation of the order was a social media post on April 10 about Michael Avenatti, a lawyer who formerly represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Avenatti was later convicted of stealing from Daniels.

Trump, earlier this month, re-posted a statement from Avenatti, which said: "We can't be hypocrites when it comes to the 1st Amendment. It is outrageous that Cohen and Daniels can do countless TV interviews, post on social, & make $$ on bogus documentaries--all by talking sh*t about Trump--but he's gagged and threatened with jail if he responds."


Trump, after re-posting Avenatti's statement, added: "Thank you to Michael Avenatti --for revealing the truth about two sleeze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!!"

...

Bragg's office also pointed to another post from April 10, in which Trump shared a picture of a document titled "Official Statement of Stormy Daniels," which was dated Jan. 30, 2018.

"Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago," the statement from Daniels says. "I am not denying this affair because I was paid 'hush money' as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened."

Trump posted, along with the photo, "LOOK WHAT WAS JUST FOUND! WILL THE FAKE NEWS REPORT IT."

Separately, Daniels had denied the allegation in a Jan. 10, 2018 statement as well.

"I recently became aware that certain news outlets are alleging that I had a sexual and/or romantic affair with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago. I am stating with complete clarity that this is absolutely false," Daniels wrote in that Jan. 10, 2018 statement. "My involvement with Donald Trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more."

Daniels wrote in the letter that when she met Trump, he was "gracious, professional and a complete gentleman to me and EVERYONE in my presence."


"Rumors that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false," the letter read. "If indeed I did have a relationship with Donald Trump, trust me, you wouldn't be reading about it in the news, you would be reading about it in my book. But the fact of the matter is, these stories are not true."

So Trump is not allowed to bring up Stormy Daniels' past statements, which she now alleges are false, to impeach her credibililty.

Remember, he's not just a defendant in a corrupt prosecution -- he's running for president of the United States. He is not like the normal defendant where you could, maybe, say, "You can make those arguments in court, but not for public consumption."

He's a presidential candidate -- he has to make arguments in his defense for public consumption.

And the corrupt Soros DA is following through with his plan to simply make it illegal for Trump to run for office.

Megyn Kelly made a good point: the public interest in Trump's comments is an important factor here, too. We're not just talking about Trump's right to speak -- we are talking about our own right, as citizens charged with electing a president, to receive Trump's statements so we can weigh them in making our votes.

Even CNN's legal analyst Ellie Honig is mocking the weakness of the Soros Catspaw's case.



"Donald Trump is about to face trial for conduct that happened eight years ago; if you have kids in college now, they may have been in elementary school when it all went down," Honig writes in New York Magazine. "The crime is a paperwork offense relating to how Trump and his businesses logged a series of perfectly legal (if unseemly) hush-money payments in their own internal records."


The prosecution's star witness is a convicted perjurer and fraudster who openly spews vitriol at the defendant, often in grotesque terms, essentially for a living.

The famously aggressive feds at the Southern District of New York passed on the case years ago, and current Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg's predecessor could have indicted [Trump] before he left office but did not.

The charges are either misdemeanors or the lowest-level felonies (depending on how the jury decides the case), and the vast majority of defendants convicted of similar offenses are sentenced to probation and fines, not prison.

Did I mention that Honig is a legal analyst for CNN?

"Paying hush money is not a crime," Honig admits. "In fact, a hush-money agreement, though seedy, is legally no different from any other contract between private parties.

32 Daniel Baldwin @baldwin_daniel_
Things to remember about Trump's Manhattan trial:

Alvin Bragg is a far left prosecutor who campaigned on 'getting Trump.'

Alvin Bragg is bootstrapping a common misdemeanor into a felony (because the statute of limitations ran out on the misdemeanor).

To do that, Bragg is using Article 175 Section 10 of New York Penal Law. That requires Bragg to prove that Trump is guilty of falsifying business records and then show he did so with the intention of committing a second crime.

The huge issue for Bragg? No one has any idea what the second crime is! Bragg hasn't articulated it. Insanity.

The DOJ, which jumps at any chance to 'get Trump,' and Bragg's predecessor Cy Vance each declined to prosecute Trump for this.

Judge Juan Merchan donated to Biden for President in July 2020. His adult daughter is the president and partner for a Democrat consulting firm that makes money working with far-left candidates who attack Trump for a living.

When Trump and his attorneys pointed this out, Merhcan gagged him, violating his First Amendment rights.

To cap it all off? Bragg's star witness is a serial perjurer. [andy: i.e. Michael Cohen]

BREAKING: Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz says Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump is the “weakest” case he’s seen in 60 years.

Fox News host Sean Hannity prompted the former law professor to analyze the case from a “legal standpoint” due to Bragg’s attempt to increase the charges against Trump.

“I’ve been doing this for 60 years, Sean. Teaching criminal cases, defending criminal cases, writing about criminal cases — this is, by far, the weakest criminal case I have ever seen in my 60 years. There is nothing here. There is no misdemeanor, there is no felony, there is no federal crime. The feds refused to prosecute — even Bragg refused to prosecute until some of his young progressive woke prosecutors demanded that he prosecute,” Dershowitz stated.

Federal is usually a little better because they are appointed for life and usually had real qualifications. Although Obama started poisoning the federal courts with incompetent DEI hires, so this is less true now than it was 10-15 years ago.

NY state judges have to run for reelection every x years and the only way to do that it be part of the local political machine, which is 99% Democrap. And the judges must do their masters' bidding or else. It's totally corrupt.

107 Meara @MillennialOther 2h
Justices Gorsuch and Alito just annihilated the entire foundation of Biden’s DOJ case against J6 protesters.

They dunk on the US solicitor general with examples of unhinged leftist psychos disrupting official proceedings, and ask why those protesters were never charged.

Alito makes an excellent point about the protesters who shut down the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday, asking the SG if she would apply the same argument if the disruption resulted in someone not making it to court in time to testify.

The SG tries to justify this glaring evidence of a two tiered justice system by claiming that it’s different because those protesters “likely didn’t know they weren’t allowed to disrupt official proceedings.”

Meanwhile, a nana who took a selfie outside of the Capitol is serving jail time.

It’s worth listening to the whole thing, especially BASED Gorsuch with the Jamaal Bowman reference around the 01:10 mark.

What amendment number are we on? I propose the next amendment be: In order to preserve the dignity and gravitas of the office, from this day forth, all presidents must submit to a "press conference" weekly, consisting of not members of the media, but ordinary citizens asking questions.

I think that's largely the reason The Deep State/The Left has gone barking mad over Trump and raised everything to DEFCON 1.

They have nothing on him, nothing to get him on and that has obviously driven them insane.

The guilty cannot countenance the presence of an honest man amongst them lest it make their guilt more obvious.

I don't think they ever intended to win, ultimately. The charges Bragg brought in this case are a joke. He took a misdemeanor case that even the very political SDNY refused to prosecute and somehow shoehorned it into a felony and is bringing charges that have never been brought before. He could only get a win with judge as corrupt as this one.

The goal was to hurt the campaign just like all the other charges. Make Trump fight with both hands tied behind his back. It hasn't worked at all at least so far.

That depends entirely on the outcome of the election.

If Trump manages to beat the fraud or is permitted to win by the Party, the appeals court will overturn because everything was obviously corrupt. This then goes away.

If he doesn't manage to beat the fraud, then they will drag their heels and make a ruling - upholding or overturning - far too late for anything to matter, and long after the "convicted criminal Donald Trump" in an orange jumpsuit stuff has played out in its entirety.

The way it's described is a bit disingenuous, and the reality actually makes Mellencamp look even worse.

From what I heard int he clip posted earlier today, it wasn't "the crowd." It was a heckler. One heckler objecting to a political harangue at what was supposed to be a concert, and the crowed booed him down. The crowd was on Mellencamp's side.

Then he swore at the guy, pitched a fit, said he was going to cut the show short, sang a few bars from "Jack and Dianne" and left.

324 But what does that lead to? Trust in our various institutions is at an all-time low and they're just ramping up the BS at light speed.

It leads to Mogadishu. All it takes is the expected economic crash and the welfare checks stop.

326 Just like Star Trek!

Space Systems Command announced that they have awarded two contracts with space industry vendors (True Anomaly and Rocket Lab) to engage in war simulations.

The vendors will exercise a realistic threat response scenario in an on-orbit space domain awareness (SDA) demonstration called VICTUS HAZE.

327 Gag orders have traditionally been applied to protect the right of a DEFENDANT to a fair trial, not to protect the prosecution from criticism. I wonder if there is any precedent at all of enforcing a gag order preventing the Defendant from criticizing the nature of charges brought as unfair, biased etc (as opposed to attorneys, who are governed by special rules of "respect" for the Court).

As a "prior restraint" on speech, a gag order is (should be) subject to the strictest scrutiny of necessity, vs the free speech rights infringed.

And in this case, you have the highest possible speech interest (major political speech, always afforded the highest deference under the Constitution).

And the "threat" here amounts to nothing more than a (likely fake) heckler's veto of supposed "online threats" --always a crap justification under the law.

Interestingly, the nature of the gag order also belies the whole theory of the prosecution. Trump was well within his rights to use campaign funds to protect his reputation (furthering his candidacy). Much as preventing him from speaking is, by definition, a harm to his candidacy (therefore by definition a political speech infringement).

Go to Florida, hold up in Mara Largo and tell Bragg to fuck himself. "Come and get me". Hire a mercenary army to guard the place and take it from there. The left obviously wants a war. Give them one. The most dangerous individual to deal with is the one who finally reaches the position of having nothing else to lose. Maybe a few thousand of his supporters (or more) can position themselves around Trump's compound. ALL of this has to eventually come to a head. Just a matter of time.
